Questions for the owner

You did not give a walk-in forecast or a cooler count for white lisianthus, so I used 0 for both. Do you want to add either one?
What time is the Summerwell Wholesale Flowers order cutoff or pickup time? It was not in your notes.
Are the prices per bunch still current for Friday?

What it does

Use it when: Use when a florist needs a daily wholesale buying list built from upcoming orders, walk-in forecast, and what is already in the cooler, such as: what do I need to buy tomorrow, make my market list, or how many bunches should I order.
