Branded Sales Forecast Help

MAKING A BRANDED SALES FORECAST
EXPLANATIONS — INFORMATION ON RULES/PROCEDURES — SUGGESTIONS AND TIPS
This screen is exceptionally important and, properly used, is a very powerful tool for making shrewd decisions.
It should always be your starting point for making upcoming-year decisions because the number of branded pairs you anticipate selling drives how many pairs to produce and ship. Without a reasonably reliable forecast of how many branded pairs you can expect to sell, you are not really prepared or ready to move on to entering decisions on the plant operations and shipping screens (or any of the other screens for that matter).
