You make use of planning optimization in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, with automatic firming enabled.
As a result of certain planned purchase orders not firming according to plan, inventory planners have to process planned purchase orders manually.
You want to make sure that the planned purchase orders are incorporated in automatic firming.
You configure the Lead Time.
Does the action achieve your objective?
Configuring the lead time will not achieve the objective in this context. In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with planning optimization, automatic firming is triggered based on the order date (start date) rather than the lead time. Lead time is used to calculate the order date, but it is not directly considered in the automatic firming process. Therefore, just configuring the lead time will not ensure that the planned purchase orders are incorporated into automatic firming.
Answer is B: Because the order date (start date) triggers the firming, you don't have to consider the lead time as part of the firming time fence. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/master-planning/planning-optimization/planned-order-firming
Because the order date (start date) triggers the firming, you don't have to consider the lead time as part of the firming time fence. For Planning optimization and not for built in planning Engine, for the traditional master planning, Option A would have been correct.
B.No is correct. Configurating Lead time will auto-firm only in built-in master planning, and not planning optimization because built-in auto-firm depends on requirements date(end date). Configuring lead time in planning optimization will have no effect because here auto-firm happens on start date.
wrong answer. the correct one is B
I think the answer A is correct because the order date is determined based on the requirement date - lead time. Then if the calculated order date is within the time fence the order will be incorporated.
Thank you for a sanity check. To anyone reading these comments: yes, Planning Optimization is based on the order date. But how do you think an order date is derived? Requirement date less lead time. E.g. My requirement for part X is on Day 45. My lead time is 30 days. My order date is 15 days. So yes, the lead time is not the direct determinant, but that's not really saying much.
So it s B. The answer is not correct.
I didn't know that lead time is taken into consideration with automatic firming process.
no lead time means something in future
B is correct because lead time is not considered part of the firming time fence.
B. Do not need to consider the lead time as order date triggers the firming.
