Introducing the Exl-Plan Range > Assumptions Handled by Exl-Plan Range > Sales, Cost, Inventory & Expense Assumptions

For simplicity, this description concentrates on Super, a mid-range version of Exl-Plan. The range of sales, cost, inventory and overhead expenses assumptions handled include:

•	Monthly sales forecasts for 30 product/market subgroups within six main sales groups which can be defined by the user. There are facilities for forecasting either sales volumes with prices or sales values.

•	Facilities for specifying the cost of materials/goods in percentage or absolute terms for the six main sales groups; for setting finished goods inventory levels (linked by formulae to sales for the current or future months); and for setting material inventory targets for each main group.

•	Direct labor headcount can be specified for each main sales group. There are eight other user-definable direct/variable cost categories for which separate credit terms can be set.

•	Forty user-definable categories of overhead expense for each of which credit terms can be specified.
