Ok, did that, and it deleted blank records from several files (BKICMSTR, BKICLOC, INVTXN).  I re-ran MRP, and still get the same results.

Looks like the same as the IN-I.  On hand 10, SO/BO 15.

Yeah, quite honestly I'm a little surprised that some of the IS guru's haven't chimed in here.
 
How about it gods of the application code world.  It appears that my "issue" has even stumped those who are familiar and confident with MRP.  In turn, this isn't instilling much confidence in yours truly.
 
Let's have some additional input on this.

Hmmm, so it doesn't !?!?  Rather odd, anyway, try this one:

Thanks Lynn...

I guess the main question is, how did that MRP beginning balance end up at that value?  I don't even know what that is.  I'll try another SO and the other suggestions, but I'm not too familiar with the Maintain Database section of DBA.
 
Continued:
 
Okay, I was able to work through the Maintain DB areas and the fields in those files don't show anything much different than the reports show.  Again, I have no idea what that MRP beginning balance number is or how it was set to 15.00***.  
 
Issuing another SO did nothing except add another line to the TP-MRP report with the negative quantity of the new SO.

I'm going to stop posting here after this so someone else will hopefully jump in, but check this old thread anyway:

DBA cant count
 
Run consolidate to one location if thats all you have.
 
then try the mrp again
 
its really worth it when it works
 
 
are your leadtimes adding to to longer than expidite delay times ?

I don't know or understand what the UT-K-E, consolidate does or affects... however, it doesn't appear that I need to run it,  as my item isn't showing in mulitple locations -- from locations in IN-A.
 
Not sure what you mean about the "lead times adding to longer than expidite delay times."  I wouldn't think so, but all of the details and numbers are in the PDF file that I posted.  In any event, this appears to be off the mark, as there are other anomalies going on here.
 
The item I created is a perfect and simple model of exactly how we have our products set up... only a bit simpler and more straight forward to monitor.  I just created it, have no transactions on it, other than a SO that should generate suggestions from MRP -- understanding it as I do.  I see that some have gotten MRP to work and have some faith in it, however with what I'm seeing on my end it's going to be a waste of time, as I can't even get a simple test to yield any results.
 
There's something wrong somewhere...
 
 
UPDATE FYI:  I just did some more research into Locations -- bottom line is we don't use them... never have.  We only have one, so I don't see how this is a locations issue, or how the consolidation will do anything.
