Sales Forecasting
Sales Forecasts can be configured to define the predicted future sales of an item by Date, Unit of Measure, and Warehouse.
During the Supply Order calculation process, Sales Forecasts will be used as part of the demand calculation to suggest the purchase requirements.
Sales Forecasts can be entered manually, imported using Salesforce Import Wizard, or calculated based on historical actual sales.
Supply Plan calculation (MRP) will only include Sales Forecast entries with a date that is greater or equal to the starting date of the current period.
For example, if the Inventory Period Type is Month, Sales Forecast entries with a date that is greater than or equal to the first date of the month will be included.
If the Inventory Period Type is Week, Sales Forecast entries with a date that is greater than or equal to the first date of the week (which is Sunday) will be included.
