In the sales forecast section we will enter the number of days that the business or company will be open and the average daily sales forecast for each product.

In the discount section for days we can indicate the average discount percentage to apply according to the month and the number of days that the discount will be applied for each month.

With all this information we will obtain the forecast of monthly sales in quantities, the total costs of the products on a monthly basis and the forecast of revenues also on a monthly basis.
