Symptoms

When running R3483 over two or more branches with mix of items and various planning fence rules, with a blank date branch per suggested setup for proper processing of H forecast consumption planning fence rule items, there is an intermittent issue with the planning of past due forecast quantities.  Single Item planning does not seem to duplicate the issue.  

Steps:  

1. P41026 - Verify that for suspect planning items, the same H planning fence rule is used across all item branch records.  
2. P41026 - Set the forecast consumption items as Planning code 1, 2, or 3 and use the same in the R3483 data selection.  
3. P41026 - Assign the H and other planning fence rule items to a select master planning family or to a select few planning fence rules.  
4. Run R3483, data selecting by specific branches, planning families, and Planning codes, to start.  
5. Review P3413 for time series quantity type -FCST quantity with a positive quantity placed in the Past Due 1 (PD1) bucket.  This is F3413.QT Quantity Type '50' with F3413.STRT Start Date = blank.  
6. R3483 - If no problem records present, expand data selection to additional branches and planning families.  Given a certain set of data, the issue can be duplicated at will.  Past Due forecast is planned and is written to the P3413 Time series.
