Field Definitions for Item Planning

Plan, forecast, actual and sim-to items use the same fields to define goals and actual activity. They are presented below:

BOM	Short for beginning-of-month, this field indicates the number of units on-hand at the start
RECEIPTS	Indicates the number of units received into inventory from purchase orders (not transfers) during the reporting period. This number can be planned during the initial plan build.
SUG. REC.	Suggested receipts -- a calculated value indicating the number of units required to maintain sales based on plans and/or actual activity. By default, this number is simply an indication of sales activity during the period. A more advanced suggested receipt analysis is done with suggested purchasing programs using the purchasing module or the reporting and analysis module.
C/O %	Check-out percent. This indicates the percentage of inventory units sold compared to the total number of units on hand at the beginning of the month. A running total for the season and year is presented at the far right side of the plan section and indicated check-out for the entire reporting period in summary.
INV +/-	Inventory adjustment in quantity. Can be positive or negative and reflects receipts and stock adjustments made due to activity such as damage, theft, etc..
