I have this scenario :

- If there's OH inventory on item A, use item A in the formula
- If there's no OH inventory on items A. use a phantom item B which can be produced from item c and a route 
 
I set both item A and item B to the same plan group, set priority 1 on item B and qty 1, set priority 2 on item A and no quantity 
 
The problem is with the setting above,  planning optimization still use item B although there's no inventory on item B and there's OH inventory on item A
I have the same question (0)

    Hi,
    You can refer to this official document: Priority-based planning - Supply Chain Management | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft LearnThis article describes the priority-based planning feature of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The feature adds support for demand-driven planning, which is one step of Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP). You can also refer to this official document: Optimize your supply chain with priority-based planning - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Blog. It introduces how to optimize your supply chain with priority-based planning.
    Best regards,
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin Xia 
    I know about priority based planning, which is irrelevant to my question
    Formula priority and plan group are used together for substitution, not for master planning priority

    Per this link, support for Plan groups was not planned for until, well, about now. But I have not read anything to say that it has actually been done.
     
    Does it work for you if the Item B item is not a phantom item?

    Thank you GuyUK
    I already found the solution to my issue a couple of hours ago:
    Deploy Release 10.0.39, Scheduled it for tomorrow
    Will test again after the deployment

    Regardless of feature state in .38 or .39, If you want A to be used first, it should be priority 1 and B should be priority 2.
