I have a purchase order with expected receipt date 30/04/2026, Considering that what parameters i have to sate that sales order having 01/05 2026 shipment date should not consider while running the planning worksheet.
Here is three scenario which i want to cater,
If the difference of shipment and expected receipt date is 14 days then those lines should not appear in planning worksheet.
If its then after that 14 days till more 45 days it should suggest rescheduling the order .
At last it would be the regular behavior cancel and new.
How this can be achieved in reordering policy lot for lot and also after explaining all theses in detail let me know how and what impacts will be there when dampener is defined 14 days over there but consider this separate not consider the scenarios in same
Request to guide.
First, the Sales Order is demand and will be factored in regardless. What will determine if the expected receipt is on time is the receipt date + safety lead time, which blank = 1 Day. In your scenario, if you have a Safety Lead time of 3D (3 Days), your 30/04/2026 receipt will not be considered in time to fulfill a 01/05/2026 shipment date.
The Dampener Period has to do with the expected receipt date and a change in the demand date. For example, a Purchase is made so the material comes in on the 15th, but the demand gets pushed out and the new calculated date for receipt is the 20th. If the Dampener Period is set to 7D (7 Days), the change in date is within the dampener window, so no change will be suggested on the Purchase. However, if the new calculated date for receipt is the 30th, being outside the 7 days, the planning worksheet will suggest rescheduling that purchase to match the new receipt date.
The decision to reschedule verse cancel/new is based on the Rescheduling Period. In the above scenario, if you Rescheduling Period is 14D (14 Days), it will fall outside of the Rescheduling and suggest a Cancel/New order. However, if your Rescheduling Period is 45D, the system will suggest a reschedule until the change in demand exceeds a 45-day change in date.
I hope this provides some clarification around the planning calculations and dates. It is best to troubleshoot these scenarios with a partner who can get in the system with you to show you the factors and how to adjust them. I would encourage you to reach out to your BC partner for some MRP consulting.
