NOTE: Entering original information into this file is optional.
Lost sales are recorded during the Daily Sales Register update when the backordered quantity was 0, but you did not ship all the items ordered. For example, if the customer ordered 5 and the shipped quantity was 3 and the backordered quantity was 0, then the lost sales would record 2.
Before using this program, make sure the Lost Sales tracking flag is selected in SO Static Control F/M.
