Report

Description

Sales Forecasting By Sales Period

This report forecasts sales revenue for a specific sales period.

The report does not predict future sales and is not built based on any algorithms. This report is purely based on ETD (for sales) and ETA ( for PO). For the orders which do not have any ETA/ETD entered, expected time of arrival/dispatch = date when the report is refreshed.

For Example: If the report is refreshed on "10-April-2019" then for the sales orders without any ETD, the ETD="10-April-2019".

This report shows the average monthly sales of the main product and not each size separately.

Sell Through Reports

The sell-through rate is the amount of inventory a retailer receives from a manufacturer or supplier against what is actually said to the customer.  We have two types of Sell Through Reports within the Premium Reports module.

  • Last 30 Days
    Details the sell-through percentage for the last 30 days.

  • By Sales Period
    Details the sell-through percentage for a specific sales period.

Purchase Order Cash Flow Forecast

This report, based on the delivery date of the purchase order and the payment terms, determines the date of expected payments and cash flow projections filtered by date/month.
