Forecast Manager | Sales/Menu Items Summary and Forecast Pages

When using the filters on the main Forecast dashboard and selecting 'Sales Items' or 'Menu Items', an alternative view is shown.

Sales/Menu Item Summary Navigation Filters

• Select either SalesItem or Menu Items from the Volume filter drop-down

Menu Item Forecast Summary Table

A table beneath the filters, containing the aggregated forecast information of sales/menu items provides a quick reference point of the forecast information (see Fig.2). The table has columns for the menu 'Item' name, 'Category', 'Sell Price', 'AI Forecast', 'Adjusted Forecast' and 'Actuals' (if applicable).

• It is possible to do in-line forecast adjustments in the Adjusted Forecast column, as shown below in Fig.2

Menu Item Summary Search Filters

A search filter is available to help find sales/menu items - see Fig.3.

• To start a search, enter at least three characters in the Item text search field
• Use the Category drop-down to further narrow your search results

Menu Item Forecast Page

The Menu Item Forecast page allows users to delve into the forecast details for each specific menu item. 

• Select a sales/menu item to see its specific forecast details (graph and table)

This page functions similarly to the forecast pages for other volume types, and different menu items can be selected by using the navigational filter.
