Master Planning from supply forecasts should not ignores the Coverage group Coverage Code of Period and also ignores any Default Order Settings for the item

Jasmine Wang on 10/18/2022 4:08:49 AM

Current behavior:

Currently when set the coverage period of 30 days. the planned purchase orders are not merged to be one planned purchase order with requirement date within 30 days.

As the minimal requirement quantity has been set for the item but planned purchase order still create with quantity below the minimal require quantity.


Expected result:

Hope the behavior will works the same ad demand forecast which will consider for coverage settings and obeys the min order qty as well as coverage group.

Thanks for your input. Currently, given that the supply forecast is usually based for a vendor or group of vendors and the agreement may be different than the default order settings of the item, the default order settings are not applied. 

These settings apply for the order creation, so any supply order that will fulfill demand. 

We will monitor the need of this idea to see if a change of behavior might be applicable in some cases, please indicate your scenario in the comments. 

Sincerely,
