[Ruben Mirensky <rmirensky@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The items you looked at had Minimum Balances set up,
they were set up as MPS items.

It will therefore plan for the first day after the
Planning Horizon and then give you an expedite message
because the Projected On Hand is under the Minimum
Balance.

Regards,

Ruben.
