forecast and MRP type

718 Views

Hi,

I am in the process of designing a system where there is one DC which gets all sales orders and one mfg plant whihc manufactures and then STOs the material to the DC. Would it be a good thing to have the same forecast for the same material in the same preiods in the DC and the mfg plant, with the sales orders consuming the DC forecast and the STO consumng the mfg plant forecast ? I cannot think of any other way for the DC to drive the demand to the mfg plant and the mfg plant working with this demand to begin manufacturing and component sourcing.

Also I ran a forecast with the MRP type PD. I was expecting VV to be the only MRP type which will allow forecast to be run but looks like PD allows forecast as well. Is that corrrect ?

Thanks
