IC239 - Forecast Variance

**Form Purpose
Run Forecast Variance (IC239) to print a report that compares actual usage
quantities to item forecast quantities. This program provides the option for
you to override the item location forecast number with another forecast
number.

You can base actual usage quantities on sales, plus issue, transfer, and/or
adjustment transactions.

You can select the items printed on this report by location and/or report
group. You can also enter a beginning and ending period and year values. The
purpose of this report is to determine the effectiveness of the item forecasts
currently being used to calculate reorder points and reorder quantities in the
Inventory Control application.
