KSP Planned Orders for non-blank Material Method

We have recently set up a new Material Method in the BOM for our budgeting
process. Basically, the users duplicated all the records in the BOM file
with new Method Code = BD. We continue to use the "blank" Method Code
records for normal planning and the BD's have not interfered with MPS or
MRP. Running version 4.0.2

For budgeting we use the Simulation menu in BPCS. We load 12 months of
projected sales in KSP as Firm Planned Orders and tag them with Material
Method BD. Then we run the simulation MPS and MRP generations. My
problem is this. Although the KSP records for the FPO's contain the
correct Material Method (BD), none of the lower level Planned Orders that
are generated have this Material Method, so the system is using the
"blank" Method BOM at lower levels.

Can anyone confirm that this is happening in their system - either normal
generations (KFP) or Simulation generations (KSP)?
