Consume forecast in MRP (Read 361 times)

cathyh Active Member I used to be indecisive; now I'm not so sure...... Posts: 1210 Gender:	Consume forecast in MRP 10/19/06 at 07:09:46 I thought you had to run the program MR-C for the forecast for a given part to be consumed by sales orders. However, when we run MRP our forecasts are automatically consumed by sales orders, without running MR-C. Is there a way to change the consumption by sales orders for a particular part or is this the way it works?

MR-C and choosing the option to consume, DOES reduce the Forecast numbers by the quantities that exist on the SO at the time the cosumption is run.

therefore your Forecast is now adjusted, and the numbers never go back to it's orignal, ergo. if you include Forecasts in your MRP, you will always be using the reduced number in the forecast.

But it does.
