When manufacturing items, how does StockTrim calculate the required order quantities for components and finished goods?

StockTrim will calculate the forecasted demand and buffer stock for each of the finished goods based on the sales history, then calculate the number of components required to make these based on the quantities in your Bill of Materials. If you manufacture all your items, the ‘Order Quantity’ will be the suggested quantity to manufacture.

If you don’t order finished goods directly, you can select ‘Exclude Manufactured’ on the order plan so that these won’t be listed.
