Workbench Work Orders Past Due
Hi Everyone!
I'm learning some of the fundamentals of MRP in NetSuite, and have been starting to get a general understanding of the workbench.
I'm encountering an issue currently with the workbench and work orders generated from outsourced Purchase Orders that are past due where they aren't being taken into account into the planning.
As an example, I have a purchase order for an assembly with production starting and ending last month (August 1st until August 31st). The receive date for the purchase order is also past due. When running the workbench with this late demand, the future demand does not take into account the quantities required to complete the current late work orders, meaning that it is suggesting purchase and transfer orders that will end up short once these work orders do end up completed.
