It would be helpful to have a projected sales per SKU feature for the year, broken down as monthly (or weekly…or both) so when using the projected packaging and projected sales forecasts it gives a much more realistic picture
Thanks for the suggestion, Justin.
Just to clarify, are you looking to be able to manually enter the projected sales for use in the existing forecasting reports (rather than using one of Breww’s built-in methods for predicting future sales)? Or a brand new report altogether?
We would want to be able to manually enter the HL per SKU per month prediction rather than the Breww prediction

Like Justin says,
I would also add a way to visually compare the forecast against actual sales.

I’d love to hear an update on this, any thoughts on additional development around the forecasting report? I feel like a few additional features on this module would drastically improve our overall experience; if I’m being honest, in its current state it’s nearly useless. Using a straight “X number of weeks” as a lookback period for predicting future sales is too simplistic, as it accounts for neither sales growth nor any level of seasonality. We live in the desert where seasonal shifts in sales are huge; but I’d wager that nearly all Breww users deal with seasonality in one form or another. And of course, we all want to be able to predict sales growth! I’m exploring analysis and forecasting options that extract data from Breww using the API but 100% of the relevant data exists in Breww already, feels silly to pay someone else to do the last 2% of forecasting work.
This feature would add a ton of value also: Forecasting by beer style & tags
Thanks for the message, Chris. I understand where you’re coming from, but I’m afraid we’ve been busy working on other requests, so we haven’t got to this one yet. We will do in the future, but I’m afraid don’t have any information on when that will be at this time.
For anyone else who would like this, please make sure you vote for it (button in the top-left) as this will help us to prioritise it for you. Thank you.
We are voting for this feature too. We would like to combine the forecasting that is already done in Breww based on historic sales but also to be able to plug in a predicted sales volume per week/month/quarter for each product line (e.g. supermarket demand/seasonal variations/specific order quantities) without having to create dummy orders for these (as dummy orders get lost and are admin nightmare).

We’re also upvoting this. The current forecasting in Breww is decent (albiet it can’t account for one off/outlier sales) but it is only looking at historic data (correct?). If we could include future sales that would be amazing. Even just being able to include confirmed deals with customers (i.e. adding a section to “deals” for the product that will be sold, that will then be factored into forecasting for the SKU).

Good news everyone, this is now possible 
Breww now supports adding custom saved forecasts, which can then be used in the Stock availability forecast report to help your sales forecasting and production planning. Breww can also now create a forecast for you using state-of-the-art machine learning, based on your historical sales data!
We hope this helps!
