Define Item Flow View

In the Define Item Flow view, you plan Short Life Cycle (SLC) items by setting parameters like delivery strategy ( Single Drop or Multiple Drop), selecting a sales curve from predefined options (such as Bell Curve), and defining Week Start/End dates. You also review the Receipt Parameters (lead time, order frequency, safety stock, and so on.) that are auto-populated from Admin Parameters. The Application Action, Create Weekly Sales & Receipts generates the sales and receipts plan for selected SLC products.

Weekly Sales for both Single Drop and Multiple Drop items are generated based on the chosen curve and date range. Sales Potential defined and approved in Assortment Fit are the default Assortment Period sales plan unless modified.

Filters enable quick aggregation between Single Drop and Multiple Drop products. Buy Quantity for Single Drop is calculated using sell-thru, sales units, lead time, and minimum order quantity, while Multiple Drop receipts consider sell-thru, order frequency, safety stock, and more.

If you create new placeholders and wants to generate sales potential for the placeholders, you need to return to the Assortment Fit module.
