I'm having trouble understanding the planning process for components. When we run planning, we get a suggestion of 317 to cover released product orders (I get that). But for the next three weeks, planning sees demand in the form of Component Firm Planned orders . But even though the demand eventually slips below 0, resulting in a negative inventory amount, planning never suggests ordering until it comes across a new planning suggestion.
Why doesn't planning suggest we order to cover the component firm planned orders?
