Seasonal Item Report (ICR735)

Using Reports

Use this program to obtain a listing of seasonal items. There are two types of seasonal items: low seasonal is an item that has 80% of its annual sales within six consecutive periods; high seasonal is an item that has 80% of its annual sales within three consecutive periods.

  • 12 period usage

  • item numbers for each item listed

  • stocking unit of measure

  • description
