Improvements
This month's improvements centre around transparency. Improved descriptions, calculations, and time periods are just a few of the changes that help you have more control and understanding of your data and the AGR system.
1. More accurate time periods
AGR uses historical sales data in several ways. To be sure you know what data is being used, we updated the some MBE column headings and descriptions to better reflect the time periods in AGR.
2. Lead time data mapping
Lead time is so important for your business and use of AGR. We improved lead time data mapping from BC to AGR to ensure the proper information is shared.
3. Bulk update
Bulk updates allow you to modify the values for any number of items at one once. To get the most out of bulk update, you need to know what you are updating, so we added better descriptions to the feature.
4. First sale date into forecast
The First Sale Date into Forecast lets AGR know from when it should take historical sales data to create statistical forecasts. AGR will calculate the First Date Sale Date into Forecast for an item based on the number of historical months or weeks set in the Forecast tab of Settings.
The date calculated appears in the Item Details sections of the Item Card.
You can override the global setting by entering a new date in the First Sale Date into Forecast field.
5. Sale label in Item Card chart
The Item Card chart now has an element labelled Sale to better capture the data used. It takes the place of Adjusted Sale.
6. BOM consumption aggregation
BOM consumption in the Item Card chart now aggregates correctly.
7. Closed items in Plans
You can now access your closed items in Plans.
