We just recently updated to version 2024R2 and since then have found our MRP generation is not consuming the forecasted demand.  For instance our forecast for January 2025 has already been consumed by SO that exceed our forecast.  However, MRP is planning to the original forecasted demand.

    Do you have your forecast set as ‘dependent’?

    If not - you will need to select the check-box to achieve the desired behavior.
    If so - please log a support case so they can investigate.

      ​@Jdavis64 Is the dependent Checkbox is checked for the forecast demand lines. If this checkbox is enabled then system will consume the other demands for that particular period.

        Also, since the update our MRP generation run time has dropped from 45 minutes to a little over 3 minutes which seems very odd.

        Your forecast is not active. If the forecast end date is less than the MRP Run date + the demand time fence, MRP makes the forecast inactive.

          ​@Jdavis64 Can you please check your preferences

          Inventory Planning is enabled at the location level as well as on the Manufacturing tab, and all the required settings are enabled.

          As you mentioned processing happening very quicker, please also verify that Inventory Planning is selected in the Planning Method field for all relevant stock items.
