- Default Purchase Days: default estimated time taken from purchase creation to purchase receiving;
- Default Safety Days: default buffer time to prevent purchased products from not arriving on time;
- Daily Sales: daily sales volume calculated according to the propotion average of avg3, avg7, avg15, avg30 or weighted average daily sales;
- Sales Coefficient: for example: When the sales on a promotion day is about twice than usual, you can set the Sales Coefficient on this day to 0.5 to make the final average sales more reasonable.
