Re: Forecast/MRP interfacing.

If you are loading MSP75 or MRP75 from an external source, be make sure 
you can maintaining the forecast data via 13/MPF or 13/MRF.  If the data 
looks good in the maintenance then you should be OK.  You can also compare 
the forecast record before and after you use the maintenance program to 
check for differences.

Check the following settings (We only use MPS so I'm not sure if these 
setting are the same for MRP or not)

On your production details and on your overrides for multi-plant, make 
sure you are using a demand policy that include forecast data.

On your MPS Run details the F18 additional parms there are two Forecast 
settings:
 
Forecast Basis................... 1  (0=Daily, 1=Period) 

Forecast Netting Basis.......... 2  (0=Central, 1=Planning Unit, 2=Both)   


I hope this helps.

Make sure the demand filter for each MPS item is set
to use a forecast. If memory serves, a value of 2 will
use the greater of forecast or actual demand in a
planning period.
