Thanks, David. Here MR-F is 2/2/16, MR-G is 7/26/13. I essentially have the same results as you. Last night, we ran MR-F after the forecasts were updated, and then ran MR-G and it was clean/correct *except* for the very first item in the report, which had an on hand quantity but the MR-G beginning balance was zero. There were no asterisks on any of the items listed, which I what we expected. The purchasing people here tend to run MR-G a few times a day on a per vendor basis because they say it is more helpful to them than the MR-H report (I don't fully understand this, but there it is). In any event, of course once business is going, things change and the MR-G is no longer accurate, and the asterisks appear, and then the beginning balances do not match the on hand quantities--actually the beginning balances all go back to 0.00 ***, and the on hand qtys are mostly correct, but sometimes they do show up as incorrectly 0.00 as well. So that goes back to another post I have somewhere in this forum, how are people using MRP? Perhaps we need to change how it is being used--is it really necessary to run MR-G multiple times a day? We also run into the issue of two people running it at the same time and causing MR-F to no longer work, and we have to stay after hours to fix it. I would think that MR-F is run once or twice a day ?(or as often as forecasts tend to change around here?), and then people use MR-H to determine what to buy, etc. rather than MR-G? Also, does anyone have an idea of how the MR-G beginning balance is being calculated?
