MM DELFOR IDoc segments are all at same level - no sub-segments.

Question

Greetings.
I am trying for the first time to set up outbound releases (830) and JIT's (862) for MM Scheduling Agreements.  I want to make it as standard as possible and only use User Exits if necessary, so I am using Output Types LPH1 and LPJ1.
In WE20, if I use Message Type DELFOR for LPH1 with Process Code ME14, the resulting IDoc is "flat" - i.e., all the segments are there, but they are all at the same level (0), so SAP stops processing with a syntax error saying that the segments which should be under their parent segments are missing.  I tried both DELFOR01 and DELFOR02 for the Basic Type.
I discovered that I can us DELINS and make this work, so this is not an emergency.  But can someone tell me how to make DELFOR work?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Vikrama, thank you for your response.
DELFOR is also a Message Type, which allows DELFOR01 and DELFOR02 as choices for the Basic Type in the IDoc Type block of the first Outbound parameter window in WE20.
The description for DELFOR is "Delivery schedule for component supplier", which seems more appropriate than "Delivery schedule/JIT schedule" which is the description for DELINS.
I think it would be more clear if you could use DELFOR when all you want is forecast schedules, and both DELFOR and DELJIT if you want both forecasts and JIT's.
Thanks again,
Dave
