Hits Control Maintenance Overview

The system uses the frequency of sales, known as the number of hits, to determine:

The forecast period to use for calculating demand.
Whether an item is stock or nonstock.
When a parent branch needs to replenish a child branch.

The Demand Hit Definition control maintenance record, set by your system administrator, defines a hit for your company. It can be defined as one ordered line item regardless of quantity, one order regardless of multiple line items for the same product, or one shipped/invoice generation.
