8 In this manual you will learn about the Open to Buy module in Celerant and the different options within Celerant Command to set up departmental codes; create your OTB plan for budgeting; update and view your OTB plan, and run export for RMSA or ANT. Open to Buy is a control tool for merchandisers, allowing you to plan for and manage the purchasing of your inventory to ensure that an adequate level of stock is on hand for the amount of sales being generated. The goal of Open to Buy is to keep a lean inventory (so you do not owe money to vendors without having sold the merchandise) and having enough inventory to keep up with the demand for sales. 8 Open To Buy

When you change a planned value, the field color turns from white to orange. Once you save the change, the field will turn back to white. 7 When modifying a value that is less than or greater than zero, all values from the top down will be adjusted based on the percentage that was changed. For example, if the OTB hierarchy is defined as Department > Type > Stores, and the planned sales value for the Men s department is 1000 units, then when you change the planned sales to 1100 units for that department, it calculates a 10% increase. Therefore, all Types within the Men s department for all stores will increase by 10% automatically. 8 When modifying values that are equal to zero, the system will give you an error which will prompt you to select which data element (month and field) to base the percent change on. This is due to the fact that the system updates the values based on percentage, but if there is no previous value in the field, it cannot base the change on any percentage.

When you change a planned value, the field color turns from white to orange. Once you save the change, the field will turn back to white. 7 When modifying a value that is less than or greater than zero, all values from the top down will be adjusted based on the percentage that was changed. For example, if the OTB hierarchy is defined as Department > Type > Stores, and the planned sales value for the Men s department is 1000 units, then when you change the planned sales to 1100 units for that department, it calculates a 10% increase. Therefore, all Types within the Men s department for all stores will increase by 10% automatically. 8 When modifying values that are equal to zero, the system will give you an error which will prompt you to select which data element (month and field) to base the percent change on. This is due to the fact that the system updates the values based on percentage, but if there is no previous value in the field, it cannot base the change on any percentage.

39 Appendix Customization of Open To Buy Formula Chapter 6

40 Glossary of Terms and Actual Calculations Purpose Starting in Command Version 6.4.5, the Open To Buy module has been enhanced to allow customized formulas from a predefined list of fields relating to OTB. These formulas include: - Projected Beginning of Month Future Projected Beginning of Month Present Projected Beginning of Month Past Open to Buy Present and Future Open to Buy Past Therefore, by using the OTBFormulas.txt file described below, the user can have a separate formula for future months, present months, and past months as it relates to Projected Beginning of Month values as well as Open To Buy values. This document will explain the requirements to implement the custom formulas, the fields available to include in the formulas including the terminology, how to apply the formulas, and examples of the default formulas. Requirements Celerant Command Version Build Date 8/13/15 or newer Define desired Command Open To Buy Settings o Open To Buy> Setup & Utilities> OTB Settings Create Open To Buy Plan o Open To Buy> OTB Plan Maintenance New Defined OTBFormulas.txt file saved under RMS6 directory Key Processing Notes Each type of data (Sales, Transfers, PO Receiving, etc.) uses a specific type of transaction in calculating the actual values. This section explains the details as well as provides the formulas used when calculating the actual values. Ø Sales (+ value reduces inventory) = sum (extended + reg_markdown) from receipts where the date closed is between the fiscal start date and fiscal end date. Ø Reg Mkdwn (+ value reduces inventory) = sum (reg_markdown) from receipts where the date closed is between the fiscal start date and fiscal end date. Ø BO Mkdwn (+ value reduces inventory) = sum (mk_total) from group markdowns where the date committed is between the fiscal start date and fiscal end date. Ø PO Rcvd (+ value increases inventory) = sum (price * quantity) from purchase order receivings that were received between the fiscal start date and fiscal end date. Ø RA (- value reduces inventory) = sum (price * quantity) from return authorization shipments that were shipped between the fiscal start date and fiscal end date. Ø Trans (- value reduces inventory) = sum (price * quantity) from inter-store transfers created between the fiscal start date and fiscal end date. Ø Adj (- reduces inventory) = sum (price * quantity) from transfer in, transfer out, kits, bulk item breakup, and physical inventory adjustments created between the fiscal start date and fiscal end date. Ø Current OH Retail = sum (price * (QOH + QIT)) from all inventory. Currently, the custom formulas will only work in conjunction with the OTB Worksheet found under Open To Buy> OTB Worksheet. All other OTB screens such as View OTB Plan, OTB Budget Analysis, and OTB Reports will use the old hard-coded formula when calculating the Projected BOM and OTB values. 40 Open To Buy Ø BOM Actual = Current OH Retail + Sales (Actual) + BO Mkdwn (Actual) - PO Rcvd (Actual) - RA (Actual) - Trans (Actual) - Adj (Actual)

41 Projected Beginning of Month (BOM) There are three distinct formulas that can be used when calculating the Projected Beginning of Month (BOM). These include: - Projected Beginning of Month Future - Projected Beginning of Month Present - Projected Beginning of Month Past PO po_receive Rcvd d_planned P Planned Purchase Order Receiving (Units, Retail, Cost) PO po_receive Rcvd d_actual A Actual Purchase Order Receiving (Units, Retail, Cost) Sales - sales_plann Planned Sales (Units, Retail, P ed Cost) Sales - sales_actua Actual Sales (Units, Retail, A l Cost) All three formulas have the ability to utilize the following available fields when defining the BOM calculation.

44 is what will be needed for the customized.txt file that applies to the OTB Worksheet: Otb_past_formula = next_month_bom_planned next_month_bom_actual OTBFormulas.txt File In order to apply the OTB Customized Formulas, the file must be formatted properly, named OTBFormulas.txt, and saved on each machine that will access the OTB Module in Command. The following sections provide the necessary requirements. File Name and Directory File Name The file must be named OTBFormulas.txt Directory The file must be placed under the RMS6 Directory o Typical Configuration Path: C:\Celerant\RMS6 File Layout The file layout will consist of five lines. Each line represents a specific calculation and must have the exact name, but it can have the customized equation: o proj_bom_future_formula o proj_bom_present_formula o proj_bom_past_formula o otb_present_and_future_formula o otb_past_formula 44 Open To Buy Customization Example As described above, there is a default OTB formula which can be customized if a different calculation is required. Default Formula for Projected BOM Present proj_bom_present_formula = bom_actual sales_planned reg_markdown_planned bo_markdown_planned + ra_planned + tran_planned + adj_planned + on_order VS. Customized Formula for Projected BOM Present proj_bom_present_formula = bom_actual sales_planned reg_markdown_actual bo_markdown_actual + ra_actual + tran_actual + adj_actual + on_order Result: The Customized Projected BOM for the Present Month will use the ACTUAL Register Markdown, Back Office Markdown, Return Authorization, Inter-store Transfers, and Inventory Adjustments values as opposed to the PLANNED values.
