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.
- 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 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,
