We use Demand Planner and have Purchased (raw) materials that we forecast/sell.  I have setup the part in MS Level 1 and registered a forecast manually through the MS Level 1 Register Forecast.  I ran MS - for the part and had expected to see something in the Purchase Requisition screen.  I don’t see anything there and don’t see anything in the MS Action Proposals.  Is there something special that I need to setup for this?

By default requisitions are only created once the forecast pass the planning time fence (PTF). By default this is zero, but should usually be set to the cumulated lead-time for the part, in this case your lead-time from the supplier. 

There’s also an option to create requisitions along the entire forecast horizon, it is controlled by the value in the field “Create S/P req”. In this case the PTF doesn’t matter.
