Purpose
The Future Product Planning dashboard provides information to understand how much of each product will be needed for next season to order them in advance. The Plans data is for selected Date Type and Date Period from the filters. In addition to the Plans, sales Invoices are pulled where the Invoice Date falls one year prior to the date range. For example, if the date range is set from 01/01/2022 - 11/14/2022, Plans within that date range will appear as well as Invoices where the Invoice Date is from 01/01/2021 - 11/14/2021. This helps understand what is planned for now over what was sold in the prior year.
Plans include all approved Plans and are not on an open Booking. Sales include only Invoices within the last two years.
