The purpose of the season profile is to allow you to assign season profile weights to each forecast period in a year. This means that you can assign large season weights to those periods of the year where sales (of an item or items) are higher than normal. Alternatively, you can assign low season weights to those periods of the year where sales (of an item or items) are lower than normal. You can perform this function through the Season profile weights program, which you access through this program.
After creating a season profile, you can assign it to all item/warehouse combinations that fit the profile. You can do this in the Inventory management item file, via the Fast update function or the Season profile analysis/update report. You can also maintain the period weights for the season profile in the header by clicking Period weights.
