Hi all,
I’m running into an issue with MPS / Planning Worksheet in BC .
Customer Backorder: 1 unit
Item Status in MPS: Emergency
SKU safety Lead Time: 14D days
Suggested Order Date (MPS): 10/12/2025
Due Date : 10/26/2025
Reorder Policy / Lot Size: Lot-for-Lot
Problem:MPS flags the item as Emergency, indicating a stockout, but the suggested order date is in the future, not immediately. This is confusing for production/purchasing teams because the backorder exists today, but the system doesn’t suggest ordering ASAP.
Questions:
How can I configure MPS so that emergency items with customer backorders generate a suggested order date of today or as soon as possible?
Is there a way to enable backward scheduling or otherwise force MPS to respect real-time backorder urgency?
