2029 thru 2036 are used when the IVHR ("History Roll") "Monthly with Min/Max Changes" option is run.  You may tie different sales departments to different "Turn Numbers" in the "Turn" field on the cash register setup.

A window comes up for each "Turn Number," as follows:

Enter the least amount that you should have sold for the last six months to stock the amount entered on the Maximum.  Enter the minimum amount to have on hand before the item is pulled to a below minimum report to be ordered and bring the amount on hand to the maximum amount to keep in stock.

Example:	You would need to sell 1 or 2 in the last six months to keep a maximum amount of 1 in stock.  (This would be a 2, 3, or 4 times turn per year.)
	You would need to sell 3 in the last six months to keep a maximum amount of 2 in stock.  (This would be a 6 times turn per year.)
	You would need to sell 4, 5, or 6 in the last six months to keep a maximum amount of 3 in stock. (This would be a 8, 10, or 12 times turn per year.)
	You would need to sell 16 or 17 or 18 in the last six months to keep a maximum amount of 7 in stock.  (The items would not be pulled to an order until you have less than 4 on hand.  This would be 32, 34, or 36 times turn per year.)

After you have been on BSMGR for six months, you may run an IVHR "Monthly with Stock Changes," which will check the sales against the parameters here.  If the sales were less, the maximum amount to stock would be lowered.  If no sales are made for the number of quarters set in configuration number 2042, the maximum amount to stock could be taken to zero.  Then, if number 2041 has been set to "Y," the items would be deleted from your inventory.

2037    Open to buy Jan-Mar

2038    Open to Buy Apr-Jun

2039    Open to buy Jul-Sep

2040    Open to buy Oct-Dec

2037 thru 2040 - The Open to buy levels may be set up for different quarters of the year.

Enter the wholesale dollar amounts that you want to budget for each Point of Sale department for the quarter chosen.

To decide on the budget amount for each department, obtain a copy of the G/L Income Statement OR run the SLT program.  (Enter zeros for the month, enter the year you want to total, and enter 365 for the number of days.)

You can see from these reports the retail dollar amount sold in each department for the year.  Decide if your projected sales for the next year will be more or less.  Then take your projected sales by department and multiply by the cost of goods percent paid (discount received subtracted from 100%) to find the wholesale dollar amount. This should equal the wholesale dollar amount to budget for the department

You may use the arrow up and arrow down keys to go to a certain line to enter or change information

2041    IVHR delete discontinued out of stock items? Y/N

When the IVHR "Monthly with Min/Max Changes" option is run, the discontinued and out of stock items will be deleted if a "Y" is entered. They will not be deleted if "N" is entered.

Note:     Multi-Stores should disregard this configuration. IVHR always interprets this as an "N," as far as history roll is concerned.

2042    Num sales qtrs before discontinuing 2/3/4.

Choose either 2, 3, or 4 quarters of "no sales" before the IVHR  "Monthly with Stock Changes" lowers the maximum amount to stock to zero when the on-hand is zero.
