Absorbing Forecast with Make Direct Orders

My company is testing moving away from using make to stock on every order and instead having a majority of orders be make direct. We have a handful of customers we forecast and are trying to see if we can use forecast in tandem with make direct.Testing so far has provided poor results. The forecast quantity does get consumed by make direct orders within the forecast window, but active jobs made to satisfy the forecasted quantity, rather than update their demand links, instead give a suggestion to kill and MRP creates brand new jobs for the make direct order. Is there a setting/process/other to have the demand links on active forecast driven jobs get updated to the new demand “make direct order” source? If not, can anyone tell me why a make direct order can consume forecast quantity?Thanks for any help

Jobs with Demand Links that are linked to job but not for parts being built.

My company is on 10.2.100We have multiple found jobs which have a record on the JobProd table linked to that JobNum for a part that is in no way tied to the part being built on the job. There is no JobPart record for these JobProd records. They are not seen on any screen such as the Job tracker or Time Phase. Their demand quantity is ignored by the job. The only way we have found them is via BAQ. Anytime we look at one of these jobs in Job Tracker. The Retrieve button on links errors out with the following message:The process caller failed to invoke method InvokeSearch in Ice.Lib.Searches.EpiSearchEngine in Ice.Lib.EpiClientLib.dll Has anyone else had a similar issue? At this point we have no idea how these records are being created.Is there a cleanup process to fix these broken demand links?

Operation/Scheduling Resource Method cost breakdown.

Is there a report or dashboard which gives you the costing of an indented method broken down by operation or scheduling resource? Our sales team wants a more granular numbers than what the BOM Cost report provides.

Jobs not estimating subcontract costs when Pricelist UOM is different than assembly IUM

We typically build parts as Eaches but most of our operations have those parts interconnected on a sheet. Many of our subcontract operations are based on the number of sheets being sent out. We have setup the price lists to use the sheet uom and setup the qty per for the conversion but when the job is created the pricelist is either ignored and the the subcontract operation comes in with $0 unit cost and $0 Est cost, or it uses the supplier price list base cost when a lower price break cost should be used. On the few subcontract operations we have using the Each UOM, the job properly pulls the unit cost and subcontract cost correctly from the price breaks. Can anyone explain why this works when we remain in the same UOM but does not work when in different UOMs and a possible fix?We are on Epicor 10.2.100.Thanks.
