IC239 - Forecast Variance

Run this program to print the Forecast Variance report. This report compares
actual usage quantities to item forecast quantities. This program provides the
option for you to override the item location forecast number with another
forecast number.

You can base actual usage quantities on sales, plus issue, transfer, and/or
adjustment transactions.

You can select the items printed on this report by location and/or report
group. You can also enter a beginning and ending period and year values. The
purpose of this report is to determine the effectiveness of the item forecasts
currently being used to calculate reorder points and reorder quantities in the
Inventory Control system.
