MRP Change Suggestions not generated

Ever since going live with E.10 … current 10.2.300.7, I receive complaints that MRP does not generate Change Suggestions consistently. I have been unable to determine what is tripping it up to not suggest them, as most of the time the suggestions DO come across.

The one I am looking at today:
Stock Part with a zero on-hand minimum.
Planning time fence = 5, Reschedule out = 5, Reschedule in = 5.
On the Job, the quantity and scheduling ARE NOT LOCKED. The demand IS NOT make-to Job.

Time Phase shows:
a demand for 2.
The Replenishment Job is for quantity 4.

Why would we not be told to reduce the job to quantity 2.

Thanks,
Karen

Is the job due to start within 5 days? We do not use Planning time fence, but from the definition, it looks like you would not get change suggestions on job to start within 5 days…

Thank you Nancy … I will test that tomorrow, but my inclination is that you are correct.
