Hi Jim

I've had this problem .
You need to ensure the MPS run time parameters are set up correctly.
F18=additional parameters., press enter - Review Demand=1
Try that.

Cheers
Glen

Thanks for the response Suren.

And yes, I would like little more detail !

It seems straight forward enough but testing is not yielding the results I
thought it would.

I am loading MSP75 and running the MPS function but the MSP75 records are
not being pulled into MPS. I was expecting the MPS to create the necessary
demand and I would have visibility to the demand in the "Review MPS"
function. The items are defined as MPS items so I am not sure where to look
for a problem.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Jim.

Hi Jim,

We have all most same setup. Our forecast module collects data for each
salesman with customer/item/year/period beginning of the session. Once
all the forecast data are approved, we consolidate by item/year/period
and write to MSP75 (MPS/MRP Item forecast file) and from then on data is
maintain by item/year/period.

MSP75 will populate data to MPS/MRP run. We have been using this way for
some time and user seems to be happy with forecast details & demand.

Please let me know if you need more detail.

Cheers
Suren

Greetings,



I wonder if there is anyone out there that could offer some guidance on
how I go about interfacing a bespoke "forecast" application into
MRP/MPS.



I have reviewed the (Focus) Forecast module and the MRP/MPS forecasting
modules but I am not convinced my approach is sound.



We have a very simple customer forecast application where anticipated
sales are maintained by the salesmen for each customer/item/year/period.
I would like this data to appear as demand in the MRP/MPS application.
What would be the best way of doing this? Do I need to load the data
into the MRP/MPS forecast application or do I load it into MRP/MPS
directly and if so, which files should I be looking at ?



Thanks in advance,



Jim.
