VNAV to descend

[HussamAli]

Hello, 

I wanted to arm the VNAV (vpath), to commence a gradual descent as per the STAR procedure.  My FMS route does include altitude restrictions for upcoming way points, but i do not see the altitude restriction in magenta on the PFD (on the right of the altitude manually selected).

Am i doing anything wrong?

Thanks

Can you recreate the scenario and provide screenshots of the CDU and PFD at that point in the flight, please?

Make sure you have altitudes on in the MFD config menus

How far out are you from TOD when the FMS Flight Plan Target Altitude is not showing?  

Are you close enough to execute a Vertical Direct-To?  Use the DIR button on the FMS, line select the altitude constraint into the scratch pad, then place it back from the scratch pad to the altitude constraint LSK.  the EXEC should illuminate, Execute the change to execute a Vertical Direct-To.  See if the constraint shows in magenta then.
