RE: Forecast transfer to DRP

Bill
We are using DRP all of our parts are locked in to use the method G and it
is working fine.   The parts have to be changed to lock the method before
FCP #11 Forecast Period End since that is the program which actually creates
the forecast data, if you lock the method after FCP #11 yes you would have
to go into 22/FCP before transfer to DRP.   We are on 3.51

Subject: Forecast transfer to DRP


From the System/21 Product Guides, it appears that "Transfer to DRP" 
(22/FCP) should automatically transfer the forecast that uses the method 
(i.e.. A, B, C, D, E, F or G) that has been locked in 'Profile Maintenance' 
(2/FCM).  However, we have figured out through trial and error that we also 
have to go into 'Forecast Manipulation' (12/FCP) and press F8 before 
(22/FCP) will recognize that the forecast to be transferred is the one for 
the locked in method.  If 12/FCP is not taken, the data that gets 
transferred to DRP appears to be meaningless; we do not know where it is 
coming form.

How does it work for everyone else?  If we are understanding the Product 
Guides correctly, is there a fix out there to make the system work the way 
it's supposed to?
