We are running EnterpriseOne 9.0
We currently have upper level forecast at the finished good level that blows down in typical MRP manner (planned work orders and planned purchase orders) as well as actual sales order demand at the finished level.
At present, we have been instructed to build only to the actual sales orders and not to forecast.
My question is this:
Can we set MRP to disregard the forecast at the Finished Level so that only actual sales order demand only blows down through MRP? I could then use safety stocks on the purchasing and manufactured side to drive demand, as we have been instructed to use the safety stocks.
I know this is a somewhat backwards way to do things, but I simply cannot remove the forecast at the finished level at this time.
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks from a newbie!
