Am not sure on E9 but we are on Vantage 8 and MRP will not generate demand if the Sales Release is not marked as Firm. If you enter your forecast quantities in the Forecast Entry program then MRP does generate demand but not as Unfirm forecast in Sales Order Entry.
Hope this makes sense and is similar enough to your version to help!

We currently put in forecast quantities and leave them marked as unfirm expecting the system to generate jobs for the quantities required. When the shipping date nears and we receive a firm shipping quantity from the customer, we change the release quantity up or down and mark the line firm. Is this the correct way we should handle this in Epicor? We're having serious MRP issues with demand for material and jobs.
