I have come across what I would consider an issue with how Master Planning is suggesting Actions be applied to Open Purchase Orders. Understanding that there are a lot of settings and parameters to cover, I will start with the issue to see if anyone else has seen this issue.

Consider this scenario:

I have 3 open purchase orders (PO101, PO102, and PO103)

Master Planning is suggesting that I advance PO103 in front of PO101 and PO102, then PO102 ahead of PO101, then push out PO101.

I would prefer that PO101 be advanced, then PO102, then push out PO103.

In other words, If today's date is 11/18/19:

PO101 - 1/1/2020 ~ Requested delivery date

PO102 - 2/1/2020 ~ Requested delivery date

PO103 - 3/1/2020 ~ Requested delivery date

AFTER MRP runs, the suggested delivery dates are as follows:

PO103 - 12/1/2019

PO102 - 1/1/2020

PO101 - 3/1/2020
