| **Forecasting Method** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **Std Min/Max Days** | Products are ranked based on their sales history, assigned to percentile groups and given a performance category. This is then used to calculate the new min/max stock levels for each product. |
| **By Product Group** | Similar to **Std Min/Max Days** but the percentiles are assigned per product group. So, each performance category is made up of the assigned percentage of each product group. |

| **Ranking** | Ranking of performance categories, 1 being the highest selling category. |
| **Ranking %** | Determines the percentage of products that this performance category represents. Before exiting, you will be forced to ensure that the ranking percentages add to a total of 100%. |
| **Perf Category** | The performance category separated by speed of product sales. |
| **Description** | A description of the performance category. |
| **Min Days** | When determining a new minimum stock level for a product, an average daily sales figure is multiplied by the number of days defined in the **Min Days** field to generate a new suggested minimum stock level. |
| **Max Days** | When determining a new maximum stock level for a product, an average daily sales figure is multiplied by the number of days defined in the **Max Days** field to generate a new suggested maximum stock level. |
| **Min Qty** | The stock forecasting algorithm will overwrite a branch product's minimum or maximum quantity if the calculated value is less than the minimum quantity defined against the relevant stock performance category. This makes sure that stocked products are always on hand. |
