Hi everyone,
I’m running into a planning behavior in D365FO that I’m struggling to correct. For certain fabricated items (coverage group = FAB01), Master planning creates planned production orders many months earlier than the requirement date.
Example:
Requirement date (sales demand) = June 1, 2026
Planned order delivery = June 1, 2026
But the first operation (in resource A) is scheduled back in September 2025, leaving a huge gap.
Whereas, 2nd and 3rd Operation (in resource B and C) is scheduled a week before June 1, 2026
All of the resources have plenty of free capacity at any month.
What I’ve checked so far:
Coverage group → Coverage code = Period, Coverage period = 1 day, Negative days = 0, Positive days = 365
Item Coverage , Requirement date calculation (Fulfill minimum) = Today + procurement time
Freeze time fence = 90 days
Resource calendars are valid and capacity exists closer to demand
My questions:
Why is Master planning placing the first operation so far ahead of the demand date, even though resources are free? How to fix this?
