   Hi Frederick,

   


   Following are the answers (in BLUE)

   


   Prashanth,

   >I do not loose the KMR r= ecords when I do a generation run. A few
   questions

   Yes

   


   If so, there = is a routine that clears the KMR when
   >FOR540 is run just before it d= ownloads the new Forecast into MRP100.
   But the inc= idence happens even without running FOR540.

   


    2. If <BR= >>you have the Forecasting module setup, do you have the Item
   Master rec= ord
   >marked that it is a Forecasted item (IIM/IFRFG = Y)
   It is Y for forecasted item i.e. Finished Product

   = 


   , and the planning
   >warehouse flagged as a Forecasted warehouse= (IWM/LFRFG = Y)?
   It is Y

   


   If so= , your
   >last place to check would be the MRP820 System Parameters to = see if
   your
   >default settings for demand code
   It is 1, 1 (Repetitive, Others)

   


   , horizons
   It is ok. 1,5 (repetitive, others)

   


   , and prorate= forecasts are set
   >properly.
   It is 0 i.e. N= o.
   But my Forecast date is in Sept. whereas Planning date is today i.e.<   
BR>Date in August.

   


    If your KMR records are cleared wh= en you do a generation run
   >that would mean that all your planned ord= ers for Forecasted items would
   >not have a pegged-to association in M= RP300 (open MRP300 for a
   forecasted
   >item, observe a planned order, a= nd then press F13 to see the forecast
   or
   >customer order requirement = that represents the demand),
   Here When I press F13= , I get the Pegging info. with need for 'Forecast'
   i.e.
   it has pegged-t= o association for forecast item (Finished Product-the
   Only Forecast Item).<= BR>It has Planned Orders as well.

   


    and if that
   >= happens, the next time you do a generation run all the planned orders
   &g= t;would be removed by BPCS MRP since there is no longer any demand.
   </P= >


   If this
   >is what is happening, I would suggest that you call (= 312) 474-7400
   >(Helpline) because you have a program problem.
