configured orders and mps

this is a question to bpcs users that use the mps and cfg modules. for point of 
reference we are on v6.0.04 mixed mode, if that is important.

we use the configurator module at order entry time to generate customer 
specific bills to make products. when we do this we get a unique part number 
generated. we also try to use the mps module to load a master schedule based 
upon planning bills. we enter forecasts against these mps planning bills and 
this generates demand for component parts which mrp plans. 
but we are not able to get the customer order information about these 
configured items back into the mps module netted against the planning bill. we 
would like to see the planning bill forecast and then how many customer orders 
(for the configured parts) have been entered against the planning bill.

how do other companies get this information? any help or advice would be 
gratefully received?
