There are some BPCS calendars which essentially say that information outside of some date range is to be excluded from some activities. I am not an expert on this, only mention it as an area to explore. We have data created in which one calendar is the boss, then the data is transferred to some other rsponsibility whose calendar is not in sync. BPCS does not appear to have a single document explaining all the calendars. This information is scattered throughout many documents in which the cross-indexing is for the birds, but be thankful the information is there for us to try to mine. We run MRP500 then MRP600 then CAP600 on a regular basis ... in that order by facility. Sometimes we run MRP500 then CAP500 then MRP600 then CAP600 ... in that order by facility This is documented several places in BPCS & we do not pretend to be experts on all the nuances. There is the option to run this MRP & CAP stuff by individual facility, or run thw whole thing globally. Check the help on this ... the rules are different by facility than when run globally, in which some of the raw data comes from different places. Are you running your MRP600 & CAP600 both by the same method - by facility or globally? We are also using DRP but not FOR. We have not been firming up any planned orders ... we let the system regenerate itself, with all of our requirements flowing in from customer orders & resupply orders.
