The Forecasted Order Sheet by Volume report will show the required order to cover a certain dollar amount of sales based on a date range of sales that have been entered. This report will assist with the ordering process, ensuring you are ordering enough stock for sales and don't have a lot of waste.
The "From Date" and "To Date" will determine the date range to pull the sales data to calculate the required amounts to order. The desired gross sales are the projected sales to base the order on. The "Margin" field allows for a buffer if you desire, otherwise it can be left at zero.
The report will populate with the items allocated to their storage locations and providing you with a suggested amount to order.
