The Product Order Forecast page shows product demand, from both "real" and "scheduled" orders. This report shows product SKU, description, and forecast unit quantities, totaling the number of scheduled orders during the forecast period.
The Product Order Forecast page presents a list of forecast items using the following default report criteria:
Account: All builder accounts
Subdivision: List of subdivisions in a builder account
Future Days: Number of days to forecast in the future from today's date (Default is 30 days)
Look Back Days: All Scheduled Tasks (future)
Forecast Through: Date through which the Future Days period applies
Scheduled Orders: Number of orders for all products
To generate the Product Order Forecast report:
Choose a builder account from the Account list. (The report automatically refreshes based on your filter choice.)
Choose an available subdivision from the Subdivision list. (The report automatically refreshes based on your filter choice.)
To change the forecast period, enter a new number in the Future Days field.
To obtain a count of items scheduled to begin in the past, set your Future Days field to 0 and click the Refresh button.
To include scheduled orders scheduled to begin in the past that the builder has not yet released, choose the number of days previous to today’s date in the Look Back Days list. (The report automatically refreshes based on your filter choice.)
