I have on-hand inventory – let me use it!

Hi. We are using Dynamics AX 2012.

We've been confonted with the problem described in the article by Jacob Roder: https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/axmrpjakeroder/archive/2015/12/01/i-have-on-hand-inventory-let-me-use-it and I've seen some posts from Timsaxblog on this subject as well, but didn't find the solution yet.

The safety stock is blocking use of an item which is on-hand, causing all the planned orders to fall after the fulfillment of the safety stock.

If I change the fulfillment setting to "Today's date + procurement time", this doesn't solve the problem completely, I guess because the procurement time (7 days) is set up shorter than the real delivery lead time (about 3 months) as confirmed by an order. However, there is no need to speed up the order, as we still have a large stock available.

The problem is that all planned orders which need to use this item are now planned after 3 months, causing us to see unrealistically long lead times.

Setting the fulfillment parameter to "Coverage time fence" solves that problem, but now the planned order for replenishment of the safety stock is pushed all the way to the end of the coverage time fence, which is 365 days away.

What do you suggest?
