Hi,
My understanding is that if the system no longer has a requirement on X date, it will seek to postpone that delivery / purchase order to the next available requirement. If a requirement can not be found, it will generate a cancellation message.
What I would like to happen: If the system finds a requirement, but it is after the planned delivery time, I want it to generate a cancellation exception message, not a postpone message. The reason for this is that I have requirements loaded out several years for accounting purposes. That said, those requirements can vary month to month and I want to wait until as long as possible before committing to a purchase order. I would rather ask the supplier for a cancellation upfront and re-plan at a later date. Is there a setting that can be adjusted for this logic?
Example:
Current Month is July
Raw Material A has a 3 month lead time
I have a total requirement of 90 units for raw material A for the remainder of the year and 100 units for next year
I have purchase orders placed for 100 units this year and 0 placed for next year
Current Logic
100-90 = 10 Excess
Exception Message to postpone process with re-scheduling date next year
Desired Logic
