Item forecast variables

You can raise or lower the quantity and round up the resulting quantity to the nearest multiple by providing values if the record of an item is listed on the Item Forecast Variables page. You can create only one record for an item with a blank variant code, and for every item/variant combination.

On the Item Forecast Variables page, fill in the fields as described in the following table:

Field	Description
Forecast Multiplier	Specifies the decimal value that you want to use to raise or lower the quantity by a particular factor. The default value of this field is 1.00.
Rounding Precision	Specifies the decimal value to round up the resulting quantity to the nearest multiple. The default value of this field is 1.00.
