The Calculate Store Capacity is a functionality that lets you calculate the space consumption of sections and shelves in stores. Capacity Goal can be set up on the Store Capacity page per item category or product group, as well as for a specific season. See How to: Set Up Store Capacity for more information on setup.
The Calculate Store Capacity functionality will update all inventory and capacity fields on the Store Capacity page. Alternatively, running the Store Capacity report will also update these fields. The calculation can be performed manually in the Store Capacity page, or automatically with a Scheduler Job.
