Defer on Material Exception

We are very new to Acumatica.  We have monthly consolidated scheduled ocean shipments. Most of my ‘DEFER” on the exception list is due to we put in on the earlier ocean to arrive in time. For instance, I have a 6/25/25 scheduled ocean, and MRP is telling me to DEF to 7/9/25. I don’t have a 7/9/25 ocean, and need to make sure it’s on the 6/25/25 ocean.  Is there any schedule we can put in for our ocean, or once it moves to “IT-OCEAN-MTL” warehouse, it won’t show to defer or expedite since it’s not possible for either.

@trademark - What are your lead times on the item? Are these purchased items or transferred items? If transferred do you have your transfer lead times set up?

HI Debbie.  We have leadtimes for each part;  We purchase then transfer it an GHK account until material arrives at 3PL.  The MRP is correct is stating to purchase 7/9/25 according to when it’s due the customer. BUT, I don’t have an ocean until later in July, so I scheduled for the 6/25/25 ocean.  It tells me to defer to 7/9/25 - which again is correct, except I have monthly scheduled ocean shipments.

@trademark, MRP will continue to provide expedite and defer messages since the dates fall outside of the days early days late exception window setup. If you are moving the material to an Ocean Warehouse I would suggest filtering out exceptions related to that warehouse.
