Master planning ignores configuration rules for dimension-based configured products

Posted on by
Hi everyone,
 
I am testing Master planning behavior for dimension-based configured products in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
 
The product master has one BOM and BOM version that include all possible component items. Configuration groups and configuration rules have been properly defined inside the BOM, so only specific components should apply depending on the selected configuration.
When I create a sales order for the configured product and expand the BOM, the system correctly shows only the components valid for that configuration.
When I generate a production order directly from the sales order, the production BOM also includes only those valid components, as expected.
 
However, when I run Master planning (MRP), the system plans requirements for all components in the BOM, ignoring the configuration rules defined for the dimension-based model.

Could please confirm whether Master planning is designed to always use the full BOM version for dimension-based products (regardless of configuration rules) and explain why this behavior differs from BOM expansion and production order creation?
Also, is there any recommended setup or workaround that would allow Master planning to plan only for the components assigned to a specific configuration?

Environment details:
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management version: 10.0.44
Product master type: Dimension-based configuration
Total components in BOM: 16
Components assigned to configuration: 9


Thank you in advance for your insights and clarification.

    Hi André, thank you for your question.

    I tested both scenarios:
     
    Creating only the sales order for the dimension-based configured product, with Master planning triggered by the sales demand.
    → In this case, Master planning generated requirements for all BOM components, ignoring the configuration rules.
    Creating the production order directly from the sales order using the same configuration.
    → In this case, no requirements were calculated by Master planning.
     
    My Master plan is configured as follows:
     
    I’d really appreciate any suggestion or insight on how to make Master planning consider the selected configuration or the related BOM components in this dimension-based scenario.

    Hi,
     
    Can you tell if when running the master planning the production order was already created from the sales order configured for this product? What exact master planning settings do you have in your environment?
