The Forecasted Order Sheet by Days report will show what is needed to order to cover a certain number of days of sales based on a date range of sales that have been entered. This report will help with the ordering process to ensure you are ordering enough stock for your sales, and while you do not have a lot of waste from ordering too much or not have enough stock due to ordering too little.
The days will determine how much needs to be ordered. The "Days" field has a preset number, but you can also enter the desired number of days. The "From Date" and "To Date" fields will determine the date range the sales data will be pulled from to calculate the amounts needed for the order.
The report will populate the items broken down into their storage locations and providing you with a suggested amount to order.
