Days of History to go back for Min/Max Analysis

Determines the number of days the system will go back for analyzing sales history during the calculation of the minimum and maximum order quantities.  To analyze about six months worth of sales, put 180 here.  If it is a sub category for a big ticket item that typically doesn't sell frequently, you might want to analyze sales within a larger period of time.

Days of Stock for Min

Days of Stock for Max

Determines the number of days worth of stock to use in the calculation of the maximum order quantity.  If you typically order inventory with this sub category monthly, you might put 60 here.  If it is weekly, you might put 14.

Status Interval in Days
