There could be a very simple solution to this that I’m not seeing, but basically, I uploaded a forecast on a Finished Good, and MRP is reacting appropriately at the Finished Good level:

Action Dates for Finished Good item

For this Finished Good, I have a corrugated shipper in the BOM, but all of the MRP Planned demand for the shipper fall on the same date:

Action Dates for the corrugated shipper

I have opened up all calendars and played around with preferences for about 2 hours (fatigue may be my issue at this point), but does anyone know why my Promise Dates would all fall on the same date when the Finished Good demand is spread out? (Lead time for 966414 is set to 14 days). Thanks in advance for any help on this!

You may want to check your lead time for the shipper and if you are using MRP buckets.  It could be that the MRP bucket is large enough that it is showing all 3 demands at the same time for the earliest date. I’d need to see the stock item details, your MRP Preferences, and buckets to evaluate.
