Extended End Date

The Extended End Date feature allows you to project inventory levels beyond the planned end date of a choice. This ensures comprehensive inventory visibility, even after the original demand and receipts projections have concluded. Here’s how it works:

Demand and Receipts Projections:

Inventory projections are initially based on the original planned end date, determined either by Planned Weeks or manual input.
Beyond this date, even if there are no active sales or receipts plans, the system continues to project inventory based on remaining stock.

Projection Period:

The extended projection runs until the earlier of:

1.5 years from the launch date (or today if the product is already in season).
1 year beyond the original planned end date.

Handling Linked Choices:

For products with multiple linked choices, where gaps exist between launch dates:

The Extended End Date for the current choice will align to one day prior to the next choice’s launch date.

Why It Matters:

The Extended End Date feature ensures you have a clear understanding of your inventory trajectory, accounting for any leftover stock and bridging the planning gap between product choices. This minimizes inventory surprises and aids in smoother transitions across product lifecycles.
