Stock Requirement Forecasting Solver

Enterprise & Corporate Edition Only

• Stock transfers or transactions assigned to internal accounts are excluded from consideration in preparing the forecast. (Transfers are assigned to accounts that are set to account type "internal".)

• Sales transactions linked to transaction type 8 are excluded from the analysis. (As these transactions do not affect stock holding levels.)

• Kits are never directly reordered, but the components that make up the kits are.

• You can run his utility as many times as required to try out various "What...if" scenarios. You may also have to run the utility multiple times if you have different cover period requirements for different suppliers. For example, you may need to order once every 14 days for local suppliers, and once every 3 months for overseas suppliers.

• You will be unable to create or change transactions that require stock adjustments while this process is running. You should not run it while operators are creating new invoices.

• Remember that CAPITAL will use the number of days of cover on each individual supplier account (if a number other than zero is specified) in place of what is entered when running the forecast utility, when applicable.

• If stock record creation dates are set blank, estimated monthly sales calculations are ignored.The creation date is automatically assigned when a new stock record is added to the system. If you are not specifying estimated monthly sales for stock records, the creation date is not relevant.
