Special concepts
* relationships betwen dates (order, request, ship) and apply that mix to a new month
* apply a base mix of promo codes and terms codes to a new month of forecast where there is no existing baseline to pull from
* effects of building baselines off of original, or all changes so far
* pricing and units
Slowness Options
* move json to a separate table and the change can be marked with a sequence
* have the data actually be a query from the database
* reduce number of columns in fc_pool
Discussion
* special look at Mar-Apr sales since it is being copied from plan or older data
- [ ] at the end of March, we will swap out the budget from March with actuals and re-forecast
- [ ] need to think through how to overlay actuals into the budget
* last price paid snap - preload
- [ ] dont do this
* FX - currently nothing loaded
- [ ] we'll pick one (see Bruno)
* cost - snap to current cost
- [ ] snap to current
* need to be able to reload the forecast as we lock in new months of sales data - replay changes over top?
* item 1
* refresh new part list
* add comments on monthly
* add a tag that is separate from the comment?
* need to test extrapolating osm_pool into osmp_dev
Review
* continuous update with actuals
* next years sales is going to change everyday as new things happen with open orders
* need to be populating shipping season instead of leaving null
* need to do with past-due's -> when do they ship?
* snapshot several years of history into the forecast so there is no need to bring in actuals
* going to have to rebuild the forecast when actuals change
CI
* snapshot pool
* adjust 2021 orders
* integrate with 2020 open to get to 2021 sales (osm_stack)
* show 2021 forecasted order as forecast
* show 2021 forecasted sales (need to update ship season so it is not null)
Walk Issues
* canceled orders
* changed orders
* short ships
* exchange rates
