Hi
Epicor has run MRP and has created extra demand for a part. I tried to read the logs and it says that MRP is “expediting” jobs that are already firmed (which are locked btw so the schedule cannot realistically move and can confirm that did not move) and creating an unfirm job for the qty that is not on existing jobs (ie the balance)
Can anyone help me understand what happened here? According to us there should have been only a single unfirm job for qty 3 and the end balance should have been 0
