Manage shrinkage weeks

Shrinkage weeks specify which shrinkage categories and shrinkage percentages are applied to 30-minute intervals for each day of the week. You can assign up to 10 shrinkage categories per day per week.

Use the Shrinkage Weeks page to create, edit, and delete an unlimited number of shrinkage weeks. You can also copy an existing shrinkage week and save it with another name. One reason to use the copy function is if a new shrinkage week is almost identical to an existing shrinkage week and would require only small modifications of that existing week to configure it correctly.

Create a new shrinkage week

  1. Select the option Create a new shrinkage week.
  2. Enter a unique name for the shrinkage week.

  3. Select a day of the week in the Weekday Selection section.

    NOTE   If the shrinkage on multiple days of the week is identical, you can use Ctrl+Click to select those days. The shrinkage categories and shrinkage percentages you configure are applied to each day simultaneously.

  4. Select up to 10 shrinkage categories from the Shrinkage Categories Available pane and use the right arrow to move them to the Assigned pane.

    Each shrinkage category you select is added as a column in the Intervals table.

  5. For each 30-minute interval you want to apply shrinkage to, double-click the cell in the appropriate shrinkage category column and enter a percentage value from 1–99.

    NOTE   No individual table cell can have a value greater than 99 percent, and no interval row total can exceed 99 percent.

  6. Select another day of the week and configure shrinkage categories and percentages for that day until you have configured every desired day of the week. You are not required to configure shrinkage for every day of the week.
  7. Click Save.
