Re: MRP and MLI

MLI must be 'M'- multiple,  or 'S' - for single source - no Peg to demand.  I set the template to always populate an 'M' .  This was an old carryover from Mapics I days. M- multiple sources of demand , will pick up peg to demand.   Order policy code can bite you as well. couple are for reorder point.
