CTP Calculation | Reservations from multiple purchase orders

Hi everyone,

My customer uses CTP calculation to calculate order Promising Lines.
We have a situation with unexpected behaviour, Hopefully one of you can tell me if this is standard Business Central or adjustable.

A sales line is created for an item with the following availability:

Direct available stock: 50
Purchase order with expected receipt date 30/08/24: 50
Purchase order with expected receipt date 30/09/24: 50

The sales line is created with a quantity of 120. The sales line is created without a Requested Delivery Date. The shipment advice of the sales order is set to Partial.
The Customer would like to receive every singel piece as soon as possible....

When running the CTP calculation the following reservations are created:

Quantity (Base)	Reserved From	Expected Receipt Date	Shipment Date
-50	Item Ledger Entry		30-9-2024
-20	PO with exp, receipt date 30/08	30-8-2024	30-9-2024
-50	PO with exp, receipt date 30/08	30-9-2024	30-9-2024

Our expectations was that the reservations would be made like this:

Quantity (Base)	Reserved From	Expected Receipt Date	Shipment Date
-50	Item Ledger Entry		30-9-2024
-50	PO with exp, receipt date 30/08	30-8-2024	30-9-2024
-20	PO with exp, receipt date 30/08	30-9-2024	30-9-2024

We expected because partial delivery is allowed that the reservations would be made on the purchase order that could be shipped to the customer as soon as possible.

Looking forward to your insights: is there a setting to ensure BC makes reservation entries based on purchase orders with the earliest expected receipt dates?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Lianne Elzenga
