In D365 F&O DDMRP Functionality – Planned Orders not getting generated for Full Coverage Time Fence. Instead, a single planned order is getting generated for the current time period only.
Actual Result
Only 1 Planned purchase order is generated instead of 12 different Planned purchase orders for the respective Coverage time fence of 12 months (365 days).
Expected Result
The generation of 12 separate Planned purchase orders corresponding to the setup Coverage time fence of (365 days) 12 months.
Comments
This is a serious restriction when using DDMRP, as it does not allow us to generate order proposals projected into the future based on a sales forecast. In my opinion, the reason for this is that when calculating the buffer values, it is only possible to decide statically how many months should be used as past periods and forward periods. In order to calculate future requirements, however, the “Average Daily Usage” would have to be determined dynamically from the forecast, as no past periods exist for these future months.
