Time-phased material requirements for long-running production orders

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hello,

Is it posible to implement a D365 SCM extension that time-phase the net requirement of a BOM component within a single production order based a the route duration (for example, by shift, day, or week), so that Planning Optimization generates phased planned purchase orders insted of single purchase proposal for the full material requirement?

Desired Outcome

From a production and supply planning perspektive:

One production order

One production batch

Planning Optimization reflects actual material consumption over time

Purchase proposals are generated according to weekly material consumption

No need to split the production into multiple production lots

    The part you can't do is extend Planning Optimization itself — it runs as an external service rather than in X++, so there's no hook in the engine. But you probably don't need one. The planner phases requirements based on the dates it's given, so the lever is the BOM line dates rather than the planner.

    If your route has multiple operations, linking each component to an operation number gives you this for free — the requirement date follows that operation's scheduled start. Worth separating that from splitting the production order, which you've ruled out; splitting the route isn't the same thing.

    If it's genuinely one long operation, you can add multiple BOM lines for the same component with different quantities and consumption dates. That's where a customization would sit — a job at estimation that explodes one line into weekly ones. Data side, not engine side.

    What does your route look like today — one operation across the whole run, or several?

    Hello,
    There is one single operation, which is a machine running 24/7.
    The length of the job depends on the product/quantity and is between 5–20 weeks.
    The BOM structure defines how much is produced per day, which would also indicate the required material consumption, but the system does not understand this.
    The phase‑based approach you suggested is not a solution, because the production quantities depend on demand; they are not fixed production rates.
    This problem could certainly be solved with an external APS system.
    D365 could add this to their development backlog, because we are likely not the only ones who would consider such functionality to be sensible from a business perspective
