Planned order created against forecasts whereas item has enough quantities and no safety stock

Summary:

Planned order created against forecasts whereas item has enough quantities and no safety stock

Content (required):

We are trying to understand why a planned order is suggested for an item in the following case

  • On hand 18
  • Safety stock not planned
  • Forecast all the long, about 1 EA per week
  • PTF : 5 days, DTF : 20 days
  • The replenishement is a buy type, with an overall lead time of 13 days.


From Material Plan, we can see that the item will be short in about 6 months (January 2024) if we do not replenish.


However, we have a planned order suggested in about a month (for a due date on half September 2023) pegged for half of it to the forecasts that begin in January 2024. Quantity is this beacause we have a multiplier.

Howdy, Stranger!
