  Hi Beth,

  Essentially, the updated values are based on the plan, and the trended values are based on the trend.

  For example, the updated inflow is how much inflow is needed to reach next month's BOM based on progress against the plan in the current month.  Where the trended inflow is how much inflow is needed to reach next month's BOM based on how the class is trending in the current month.  And then to calculate the OTB for either, you subtract the On Order.

  Here are the calculations:

  inflow updated = inventorybom plan for next month - inventory current + (remaining sales plan + markdowns remaining)

  inflow trended = inventorybom plan for next month - inventory current + (remaining sales trend + markdowns remaining)

  OTB's are those values - On Order

  Costed versions are same calulations multiplied by the cost complement.

   

  I hope that helps you.
