Forecasting
Forecasts are the predicted article quantities to be ordered in the future, and they can be defined for a specific customer or by the buyer himself. Through this module, you can create a forecast for a specific location and specify the quantities for each article. You can also import a file with article quantities, and you can either publish the forecast to allow sellers and buyers of the catalog to view it, or keep it private.
Go to Forecasting, the following window appears:
