Works with no history

Can a new product get a buy from a launch plan, with no sales history?

Skuvelo

With under eight weeks of history, the weekly launch plan you type becomes the forecast and drives the buy. No plan, no buy.

Zoho

A merchant-typed launch plan that drives the first buy with no history is not in Zoho Inventory's published documentation.Source

Plan vs actuals

Does it show what sold against the plan, and why it was off?

Skuvelo

Plan vs actuals in money, with named causes: stock-limited weeks, your own plan, a new forecast version, a price change, or no forecast.

Zoho

Cash by payment terms

Does purchase cash leave the plan on the dates supplier terms require, with a warning at approval when an order would take cash below today's balance?

Skuvelo

Open purchase orders are dated from supplier payment terms: each deposit and balance leaves the cash plan on the day it is due. Approving a purchase order that would take cash below today's balance in the next 13 weeks shows a warning naming the week and the shortfall; it never blocks the approval.

Zoho

Cash dated from supplier payment terms, or a warning at approval when an order would take cash below today's balance, is not in Zoho Inventory's published documentation.Source

Move stock before buying

Does the plan fill a short warehouse from spare stock before it recommends a buy?

Skuvelo
