I want to forecast sales for April and I'm going to analyze sales on March, but I want to forecast how the recommended products behave from this period to the next one. I also want to analyze, a normal year as 2020 was very irregular due to pandemy, so I'll use 2019 as my year of reference.</p> <p>The wizard will take the deliveries from March 2019 and then the deliveries from April 2019 and then it will compute the increment between those two periods.</p> <p>With that increment, the wizard will analyze the deliveries for March of the present year and then it will apply the increment computed for 2019 and those will be the quantities that we'll be recommending according to the current stock.</p> <p><strong>Table of contents</strong></p> <div class="contents local topic" id="contents"> <ul class="simple"> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#usage" id="id1">Usage</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#bug-tracker" id="id2">Bug Tracker</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#credits" id="id3">Credits</a><ul> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#authors" id="id4">Authors</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#contributors" id="id5">Contributors</a></li> <li><a class="reference internal" href="#maintainers" id="id6">Maintainers</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <a name="usage"></a> <h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Usage</a></h2> <p>To use this module, you need to:</p> <ol class="arabic simple"> <li>Create a new purchase order.</li> <li>Assign its supplier.</li> <li>Press <em>Recommended Products</em> button and the recommendator wizard will show up.</li> </ol> <p>In the recommendator:</p> <ol class="arabic simple"> <li>Choose a period and other filters you may need.</li> <li>Choose a year of reference.
