Let's consider the following simple case:
1) I sell a product with a 10 days customer lead time
2) The vendor lead time for this product is 5 days
3) There is a Reordering Rule (min Q=0, max Q=0) on the product
Question: would the RFQ be created for the product as soon as possible or as late as possible? How did it change from v13 to v14.
This is a question we often received: why my RFQ is not automatically created when I validate my Sale order, despite that I have a reordering rule.
Reordering rules are triggered based on forecasted quantities on the product. BUT:
1) in v13, the system triggered reordering rules based on long-term forecasted quantities.
Namely, for the introductory example, the RFQ would be created immediately when the SO has been validated (after having run the scheduler though).

Therefore, the RFQ would be created 5 days before the delivery date in v14, rather than immediately in v13. This is why in v14, someone might be surprised that a RFQ is not created immediately , despite having reordering rules well configured.
If this is a problem for you, you might think about using security lead times for purchase and/or the MTO route.
