Minimum balance

I believe that the method you recommend will provide me with data on what
WAS produced rather than a summation of what we WILL produce.

Mitch,
 
The best way to do this is to trawl through the product receipts in the ITH
file that is, of course, whether you keep transaction history going back
that far.

        Subject: Minimum balance

We are trying to use the data in the KFP file to calculate our annual
production on a time phased SKU level basis.  The problem I am having is
that the "dynamic" minimum balance which is calculated from the minimum
balance days and minimum balance horizon is actually static.  By this I mean
that the current minimum balance is used throughout the year even though we
will have significantly less demand in a few months which will lower the
minimum balance then but doesn't do us much good now.  Does anyone have any
ideas on how to address this issue?

Thanks
