Is it absolutely necessary to have separate companies?

If it is, one solution I have seen is to pass the
forecast to DRP. In the DRP set up, define the source
as a purchased item that you buy from company 02.
Assuming you have EDI, set up an electronic trading
relationship between company 01 and 02. Transmit the
purchase order to 02 so that the manufacturing system
sees the demand as a sales order for company 01.

This is a clunky solution since you end up with AR in
02 and AP in 01 that need to be reconciled but maybe
your business requirements dictate such an arms length
relationship between the sales organization and the
manufacturing organization.

If the arms length situation is not a requirement then
you could always write some code that would populate
the forecasting files in company 02 with the results
of the forecast run from company 01.

I am sure there could be a more elegant solution.
