Suggested Start date for Planned orders are earlier than their Need by Dates in a Constrained Plan

in Supply Chain Planning and Collaboration 3 comments

Summary:

We notice that multiple Planned orders are generated with their Suggested Start date and suggested due date with the Plan run date (10-Nov-2026), even though their Need by dates fall on the Month of December (01-Dec-2026).

All our items are defined with a Post processing lead time = 3.

So, we suppose the backward scheduling should not place the order any earlier than 25-Nov-2026 since the Resources are fully available the entire week. Despite having availability for the resource we see most of the planned orders are placed on the 10-Nov-2026 which is the plan run date (horizon start date).

What could be the reason behind this behavior and how to restrict this from happening?
