[BPCS-L] do i need MPS?

my question is whether i need MPS. we have a few items coded as MPS
controlled items, but i'm thinking i should change these to just MRP
controlled. we do run MPS every evening before running MRP. 

we are almost exclusively a make to order business. our forecasting
practice is to download sales to excel, run excel's forecasting
function, and then upload the new forecasts into the MRP forecast file.
i'm not aware on anybody that used ATP, or even looks at any MPS
reports. 

so if i just changed the MPS controlled items to MRP controlled and
stopped running MPS, would i lose anything?
