You may want to take a look at the lower date for the MPS gen.  I have seen 
both of those demands ignored because the planning start date for the initial 
gen. is after the 'go live date' or initial posting date.

Subject:        planned orders

I have been involved with six implementations so far, but this one is unique 
for me.

Planning is working very well for raw materials (MRP items), but finished goods 
(MPS
items) is not doing well at all.  Most all items have a demand time fence with
Customer Orders only inside, and greater of forecast or orders outside.  Also 
most
items have an order policy of discreet.

MPS seems to be planning for the customer orders and/or the forecasts, but not 
the
minimum balances or negative inventories (caused by product sold before the shop
order is created and received).

The facility contains at least one non-nettable warehouse.  The inventory in it 
does
not appear to be a factor.

The warehouse and facility setups must be OK to ge any planned orders at all.  
The
other six facilites planned fine.

Anyone with any ideas on where to check?

thanks

brad
