  The current date is a time fence that determines when old MLI requirements
  should be dropped.   The MLI reqmnts can be manually enterred or created
  from customer orders. This option is item specific.....Customer order code
  field in Itembl. or itm pln.   I see no reason to post the current date
  into the future...most would set the current date as Monday for a sunday
  run, and advance to tues for a tues run....if running each night,  also,
  most now do a full regen...

  hope this helps a little - maybe try this option in your test env...i.e.
  model...to see if you get expected results

    Subject:  [MAPICS-L] MRP Planning Run Options
    Date:  Fri, 16 Mar 2007 15:49:19 -0500
    I am reviewing out Horizon Values for our supply chain group and one
    that
    has always baffled me it the "Current Date".  As far back as I can
    recall
    we have set that date on Friday to the next Friday's date (so tonight we
    will set it to 3/23) and leave it at that date all week.  We started
    this
    practice because of a recommendation from a consultant at our affiliate.
    Unfortunately I only have a vague recollection of their rational having
    to
    do with "uneasiness in the recommendation"--essentially you get less
    defer
    and expedite messages by keeping that variable fixed.

    What are the pro's and con's to changing the current date for the MRP
    run
    daily vs. leaving it with a fixed, future date?
