Forecast Purchasable Components Used in Non-Purchasable Kits
complete

Currently, GoFlow's forecasting does not reliably recommend replenishment for purchasable components that are consumed by non-purchasable kits, even when those kits have consistent sales.
For example, if a component is used in a kit that sells 100 units per month, the component should be forecasted based on the quantity required to build those 100 kits. Today, this often requires manual calculations and can result in stockouts.
Requested Enhancement:
Include component demand from kit sales when forecasting purchasable components.
Recommend replenishment quantities based on the total projected demand across all kits that consume the component.
Allow users to view which kits are contributing to the forecasted demand for each component.
This would make forecasting much more accurate for businesses that manufacture or assemble kits and would eliminate the need for manual planning outside of GoFlow.

Good news! This is actually already fully supported.
In the Inventory Forecasting page, open the
Options
panel and turn on Include Required Assemblies
.When it's on, sales of non-purchasable kits during the
Comparison Period
are factored into the forecast. The suggested quantity for each purchasable component includes the quantities needed to assemble enough kits for the Forecast Period
.Each row that has contributing kits, shows a kit icon next to the quantity. Click it to see the full breakdown of which kits are driving the demand, how many units per kit, and the aggregated totals.
