Negative On Hands- Neg OH	Negative On Hand units is considered 'out of stock'. The distributor/supplier will need to work with the store/dept. manager to have the inventory audited and updated.

Forecast	Walmart must initiate a forecast for all stores located in a warehouse and control state; type 20 and 37 in order for it to be delivered and accepted at a store. The forecast is generated organically by the rate of sale in Retail Link. It picks up sales and formulates the forecast. If you do not have a forecast for an item in the required states, work with the Walmart replenishment team to get the forecast, especially for new items.
