We have turnkey finished good items that are MS items with MS Demand since they are directly forecasted.  The issue is when these items are purchased, they do not get action messages like MRP items do - MRP Action Proposals.

For example - we will order the MS item based off demand.  When the demand changes and the delivery date may need to be advanced, pushed out or if there is no more demand it would need to be canceled, we do not see these messages.

We see Early Order, Late Order or Remove order in MRP Action Proposals and would like to see the same messages for MS items.  Maybe there is a different way to set up these items so they are not MS and we can forecast them and see the MRP Action Proposals?  We are in IFS Cloud

Hi ​@ztaayoung,

 

Did you check the below page after the MS run?

This shows the messages that are quire similar to the the MRP generated messages

 

The detailed descriptions about these messages could be found here.

I believe you can still keep your parts are MS handled parts and refer to this place to get the messages you are expecting to see.

Hi ​@Tharindu Illangasinghe  Thank you for your response.  Yes, I have looked into the MS Action Proposals, however these messages do not give me what I am looking for.  When I have MS items on a purchase order I need to have specifically the same messages telling me if an item has a message of Early Order, Late Order or Remove order, along with the MRP Due Date like in MRP Action Proposals.  Does a forecasted item have to be a master schedule item?
