Overview

Suppliers and customers have the ability to enter a percentage adjustment for dates that orders are not to be delivered or to increase/decrease product by a percentage. The adjustment that is entered in advance of the order generating will be applied when the system generates that order date. An adjustment that is added after an order is generated will need to be manually applied after saving changes.

Benefits

Prevents orders from being produced/delivered if the location is closed for any reason.  Allows the supplier or the location to increase or decrease an order based on events such as holidays, inclement weather and seasonal changes that will impact forecasting.
