Re: help with Finiate Forward Scheduling

[sajben@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

As I know, BPCS doesn't plan you new order, if you have already one, which
would cover the demand. You need to expedite the FPO as BPCS reccommends.
Then, when you run MRP again, BPCS would plan you a new order for a later
period.

On the screen print below you can see that BPCS is not planning an order to
cover a customer shipment.  I believe that this is a result of the F.P.O.
that is being recommended for expediting, is there a setting that will
cause the planning calculation to ignore this or get this demand in to
Finite Forward Scheduling?
