Re: ITEM MASTER MAINTENANCE (INV100)

Check that the item itself or a parent of the item you are trying to make
inactive does not have a "manufacturing forecast" in MRP100.  This is not
part of the forecast module and I think is giving you the message becuase
there might be some forcasts set in there which include the item.

Regards,

Ruben.
