A distribution company runs master planning nightly. Recently, a key supplier extended lead time from 5 to 10 days for a critical raw material. The master planner notices that planned purchase orders for this item are being generated too late to meet demand. You need to adjust the master plan so that planned orders are created earlier to compensate for the longer lead time. What should you configure?

Set the item's safety stock quantity higher

Increase the purchase lead time on the item's coverage group

Change the reorder period on the item's coverage group

Add a receipt margin (safety margin) to the item's coverage group

A company runs master planning nightly. The planner notices that planned orders for a specific item are generated with a requirement date that is one day earlier than the actual sales order demand date. The item has a receipt margin of 1 day configured. The planner wants to understand why the requirement date is earlier. What should the planner do?

Review the sales order's delivery date and confirmed ship date

Review the item's lead time and scheduling method

Review the master plan's scheduling direction

Review the coverage group's safety margin settings for the item

When evaluating a planned purchase order, which factor is most important to confirm?

The delivery date is in the past

The vendor is approved and the price is accurate

The purchase order has been posted to the general ledger

The item is set to 'stop' in the item model group

A distribution company experiences frequent stockouts due to supplier delays and demand spikes. They want master planning to generate planned orders earlier to provide a buffer. The company uses a single master plan. What should the functional consultant configure to achieve this without changing item lead times?

Set a positive day's supply in the coverage group

Increase the reorder quantity in the coverage group

Set a receipt margin in the coverage group's safety margins

Change the scheduling method to backward from the requirement date
