This template can be used to compile a basic monthly sales forecast for a three year period. Users are required to
enter the monthly sales volumes, selling prices and gross profit percentages for each product category and all the
other calculations are automatically updated. The template includes five default product categories but you can add
additional product categories by simply inserting the appropriate number of rows in each section of the sales forecast.
Note: All the cells on the SalesForecast sheet that require user input have been highlighted with a yellow cell
background. All the other cells contain formulas and are therefore automatically updated.
The monthly periods that are included in the sales forecast are determined by the date that is entered in cell B4. You
can enter any date in accordance with the regional settings that are specified in the System Control Panel into this cell
and all the other monthly periods will be amended accordingly.
The monthly sales volumes, selling prices and gross profit percentages also need to be entered. All other amounts are
automatically calculated. Note that the monthly cost of sales amounts are determined by calculating the monthly gross
profit amounts based on the gross profit percentages that have been specified and the monthly sales amounts that
have been calculated and then deducting these gross profit amounts from the monthly sales amounts.
If you require additional product categories, we recommend inserting the required number of additional rows anywhere
between the first and last product categories in each section of the sales forecast and then copying the existing
formulas from one of the default product category rows in each section.
Note that the additional rows should be inserted into the same position in each section of the sales forecast before
copying the formulas in order to ensure that formulas are copied accurately.
