E10 Planning for multi-level BOMs - constrained materials not being considered

Hello,

 

We are running into a scenario where we want Epicor to suggest the soonest we can produce items. We work in a configurable environment and would want our top level products to take into consideration lower level part lead times and so have marked them as constrained. 

We work in a plan as assembly environment.

 

In this example below, our scheduling engine seems to be ignoring that one product will be coming in later than the top level requires the material.

We don’t have raw materials to build this part and as such it has pushed MRP jobs into October of 2021.

Please see MRP Job suggestions below
The part is marked constrained
We do not use manufacturing lead times as we want the system to calculate when we could build it based on available material.
