hi
there could be several reasons why the Planning Worksheets are only suggesting 1 item to be made, despite the forecast and safety stock quantities you have set up. Here are a few things you can check:
Lead Time: Check the lead time for the assembly item and make sure it is accurately reflected in the system. If the lead time is longer than the planning period, it may not be suggesting additional items to be made because it is still waiting for the first item to be completed.
Order Policy: Check the order policy set up for the item. If it is set to "Order Up To" or "Order Min/Max," the system will only suggest ordering the minimum or maximum quantity specified. Try changing the order policy to "Lot-for-Lot" or "Order for Quantity" to see if that makes a difference.
Planning Parameters: Review the planning parameters for the item and make sure they are set up correctly. You may need to adjust parameters such as the reorder point or order interval to ensure that the system suggests the appropriate quantity to be made.
Demand: Check the actual demand for the item and make sure it is accurately reflected in the system. If the demand is lower than expected, the system may not suggest ordering additional items.
Constraints: Check if there are any constraints in the system that may be limiting the suggested quantity, such as a limited capacity or resource constraints.
