To update date ranges or product forecasting options click the columns link

 Select the columns that you want displayed on the template for the product.

Date Range Columns

Order template date ranges determine when a product will be included on an order. These dates work with supplier rules but do not override supplier rules for availability. If you are activating a seasonal product that was already in a template it is important to make sure that there is not an end date on the product which would prevent it from being added to an order.

Forecasting Columns

Forecasting columns control how a product is set when forecasting is enabled

Note:  Supplier Rules dictate when a product will be available from the supplier.  Template dates dictate when the product is set to be generated in orders.  Template dates must be current to be included in an order.

Best Practices:

• Communication should be sent to contacts advising them the products are in the templates and the quantities should be updated.
• End dates should be checked when activating a product that is already on an order template
