The Monthly Sales Tab Page in the Item Demand program displays the Monthly Sales History that has been recorded for the selected item in the selected inventory location.
The system automatically updates the monthly and weekly sales, consumption, and production history for each item as it is sold, consumed or produced. Utility programs also allow you to rebuild the sales detail (monthly and weekly) for an item based on the inventory transaction detail for the item. The system can also optionally track the demand for an item in a warehouse location (vs the actual sales) if a default warehouse location is defined for each zipcode that you ship to (in this case, the system tracks the sale based on where the item shipped from and the demand based on the preferred location - the location where it should have shipped from based on your zipcode information).
