is commonly used to print restaurant forecasts for breakfast and dinner.
Forecast groups are used to calculate and print a forecast of (package) items. A forecast group can be assigned to one or more products. If the 'Forecast products' or 'Forecast reservations per forecast group' reports are printed, the system will check all reservations for forecast products used in the rate code splitting, banqueting details and extra charges. Totals are then printed per product and forecast group.
