You should enter information in the Lost Sales F/M during initial installation and setup. Thereafter, it is updated by the Daily Sales Register update. Any changes you make via this program after the system is operational may compromise data.
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.
Lost sales information may be displayed by printing the Lost Sales Report. Records may be removed from the Lost Sales File using the optional removal at the end of the Lost Sales Report or through the delete option in this file maintenance.
Before using this program, make sure the Use Lost Sales tracking flag is selected or set to Y in the SO Static Control F/M.
