Michelle,

If I am understanding you correctly, take a look at the "Planning Type" field
value and the "Demand Policy" field for your component items. If these items are
sold as replacement parts, this causes them to be MPS items, so, 1 is correct.
However if  the P.T. is = to 1, (MPS) and the D.P. is = to 0, 2, or 6, this
might be the cause. of doubling up the suggestions. A few tests will prove it
out.

Hope this helps, and have a great day!
