WHen we go to add records to a spare parts forecast, do I need to turn on the online consumption flag on the inventory part?

Hi Vernon,

Please look into this community post: 

 

I also want emphasize that in later Cloud releases Master Scheduling for sub-assemblies and purchase parts works so much better compared to older versions, coz when you run a Site MRP job, these master scheduled parts are recalculated seamlessly within the MRP BOM explosion logic - using the parts low level code.

What I am trying to say, is that it could be interesting to look into Master Scheduling for parts where you need to consider spare part forecasts.

Best Regards
