Limit complexity ?

In our J-Con we found an easy way to export and merge data - so for line like Friction we could put all pads together in base number ( eg all 369 pads ) ... and looked at whether we REALLY needed all these in stock ... Greg Guyitt from Auto Barn store lead this charge to eliminate some metallic where ceramic were  a better option ( but not for trucks ) ...here are some typical numbers ---

see this link on what we are doing .....click here for how to BLOCK forecasting.  There is a report-  for 5 years from now - you can see what you did and see if it still holds up (see Inv Forecast report and click on Forecast Flags for 'Do Not Forecast' and print report .  If you are Multi-store --you still have to do this x times ( hopefully in v50 this will get better )
