This article will discuss the final step of Modelling, the submit process.
Submitting is straight forward. Once you have updated your stock limits and optionally, the lead days, you can begin the submit process by pressing 'Submit' in the top right of the modelling page.
Once pressed, you will see a summary of the stock limit changes calculated using the average landed cost of each product and its new min and max stock limit. This summarises the max upper and lower investment limits for these products overall.
You will also see the number of products included in the submission.
The transaction name will be set for you automatically. But you can rename this if you want to set an identifier for future reference. The transaction will be listed in the Review tab where you can easily recalculate stock limits as the rate of demand, or your strategy changes.
The final piece of the summary pop-up is the Review Time. You can set a timer on when you want to trigger a review of your stock limits. By default this is 1 month from the date of submission.
Once you click Submit, AIM will start to update your product records with new stock limits and lead days values (if changed).
Updated details will be made to your product records. This update is called a 'transaction.' You can check on the status of your transaction in the Review tab.
NOTE: Once you have submitted your changes the Min Stock (QTY) and Max Stock (QTY) will no longer show bold numbers of pending changes. They will show the current value of your stock limits you have just set. The exception to this is if you have manually made changes to the stock limits. In this case, the stock limits calculated in your strategy will not match the existing values, so the calculated values will be displayed in bold again as a pending change. In the strategy panel, select the strategy of 'No change, use existing' to no longer suggest any changes in bold in these columns.
