Hello

is it possible to have the planning worksheet consider the order multiple?

I have the reordering policy set to lot-for-lot.

the scenario is I have:

a sales order demand of 3300
order multiple is set to 3240
maximum order quantity is set to 3240

result

Planning worksheet result is 1x3240 and 1x60

Desired result

planning worksheet to show me 2x3240

kind regards

Thanks both for your time to respond.

To confirm:

Not using stock keeping units

Not coming up and an emergency, we are using the maximum quantity to reduce the production order quantity due to associated risks for our particular industry. I have set the date deliberately in the future to avoid any dates being an over-riding issue.

I am lost as to why Business Central fails to accommodate basic planning parameters.

In addition to what Ben mentioned, if you have stockkeeping units setup and you're making the changes mentioned on the item card rather than on the SKU card, then the system will ignore the item card parameters. So perhaps its this causing your issue.

First, do you have the "Respect Planning Parameters" toggle checked when you are running your Plan?

I think another possibility is a date issue. The suggestion for 60 sounds like an emergency suggestion based on demand being in the past.

Finally, you don't need the Max Order Quantity of 3240 unless you are trying to restrict suggestions to 3240 per line. This would be typical in a batch manufacturing environment where you want to split a large quantity across multiple lines or dates.

If everything goes correctly, I would expect you to get a suggestion of two lines each for 3240, based on your current settings.

Hopefully something here helps identify the issue.
