Help with Inventory Planning Settings

I have plenty of Item B in stock to fulfill the needs based on Sales Orders

​@SBaldwin  - are you saying that MRP is not planning an order for Item A?

It is but it’s planning 1 production order for every single sales order instead of combining the total of all sales orders and putting that number into a single production order :)

When I’m on the Inventory Planning Display page and select all of the items this window pops up and to me it looks like it is going to create a single production order for every SO

 

Yes that worked! Now I’m not sure if I have the correct buckets in place.

For this item (potato) we start taking orders from November until we sell out in March. We start production orders in February when we get the seed potatoes in from the farmers. We can use the first of the month for all of these dates for the example.

The document mentioned setting up planning buckets (I’m still hazy on that topic) for long term consolidation. Currently these are our inventory planning preferences.
 

I did change the “Days of Supply” at the item class level from 0 to 1, ran MRP, and it consolidated those sales orders perfectly. So it makes me wonder if maybe our planning preferences are fine?
