Changing Sales Data
To change previously loaded forecast or shipment quantities, use Sales Data Maintenance (33.13.13). You can also use this program (manually or with CIM) to record sales quantities.
See User Guide: QAD System Administration for information on CIM.
By default, the screen displays item information in calendar weeks, but you can switch to general ledger periods.
Warning If you normally plan in weeks, do not change quantities in period view. If you do, the system permanently reassigns all weekly quantities to the first week of each period.

Enter the item number.
Bucket
Enter W to group item quantities into calendar weeks that start on Mondays. Enter P to group quantities into financial periods with a start date that is the first day of the period.

Enter the number of the first calendar week or financial period to display. If you enter a bucket number instead of a start date, the system fills in the start date for you. The system also changes the start date to the first day of this week or period if this day is not already the start date.
