Franchisor Warehouse Demand uses the sales in each store to calculate overall daily sell rate that the warehouse needs to support
Not a franchisor uses the host company context you are in sales orders. |
Planning
This purchasing planner uses the sell rate of each item to determine how many to purchase to cover a number of days of stock. By default it only shows Items that need action.
- Pick a supplier (only a single supplier may be actioned at a time)
- Enter days back and days forward
- Sell rate (is calculated) = total sales days back / number of days
- Sales = sell rate * days forward
- Enter Part % Overhead. Where a supplier charges in FX then an overhead can be applied
- Show no req: can list all items that have a sell rate regardless if they are required
...
