Symptoms

When forecast consumption logic is enabled and MRP runs over both forecast consumption planning fence rule items and also with non-forecast consumption planning fence rule items, such as planning fence rule G, forecast is selected from F3460 with no criteria for the date to not be in-the-past (past due 1).

Steps:  

1. P41026  - Enter a forecast consumption planning item, say item A in branch M10, followed by an item with a non forecast consumption planning fence rule (ex: G rule), but in a different branch, such as M20, that is processed (per ascending order) after the H planning fence rule item and branch.
2. P3460 - Enter future dated and past dated forecast for each item in the planning run.  Planning fence rules G and H items are to be used in this test.  
3. R3483 - Run MRP in F4102.MCU ascending order, followed by a run with MCU in descending order.  The first item planned is H forecast consumption item.  Item in M30 descending or item in M10 ascending.  
4. Review Time Series and messages.  When item in M30 is first item planned, the entire past due forecast quantity is populated in the -FCST past due 1 (PD1) period bucket.  When the item in M30 is planned last (not planned first), then the -FCST in PD1 is blank, as expected.
