The Sales Forecast Summary Screen

The Sales Forecast summary screen displays forecast data for each week ending period, including weekly totals and daily forecasts. By default, the data displayed is based on the budgeted sales values entered in the Budget Data screen, if any. Once forecast data has been entered and saved in the Sales Forecast detail screen, the summary screen will display those values.
