ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
ASCP is not recognizing demand for certain Non Standard Job Components. We have found that demand for components of Non Standard Work Orders are not seen in ASCP.  These Non Standard Jobs do not have an assembly.  The Job Qty is 1 and MRP Net quantity is 0.  However, for components, the MRP Net flag is Checked.  Hence the component demand should appear in the plan.  When we checked the 'Collected Data' in the ASCP plan, we find that the demand appears there.  However, the plan run does not recognize this demand and does not plan for the same.

We currently do not know if this is limited to those Non Standard Jobs where Assembly is NULL.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
Expect the demand for components to be planned.

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

(1) Create a non Standard Job without any assembly.
(2) Add component to the job and mark them as MRP Net checked.
(3) Collect the data and run the plan.
(4) The component demand is not there.

BUSINESS IMPACT
-----------------------
The issue has the following business impact:

Since a number of components for whom demand is not seen by the plan, they are not planned.  This is resulting in shortages and affecting our production schedule.
