Seasonal Build Tab
Use the fields in the Seasonal Build tab to review sales quantities for items that fluctuate according to some seasonal factor, such as weather or the way a firm handles its operations. For products with seasonal demand cycles, you may need to build up inventory in advance of periods of peak demand. You can do this by viewing the orders and items by site. The date is the end date by which you need items in inventory, while the seasonal inventory is the quantity needed by that end date.
Note: The system regards seasonal build quantities as real demand.
