Score for sku-store on Store Transfers

Broadly speaking, the store transfer solution is based on a Score calculated by sku-store. 

It compares the score for each sku-store before and after store transfers, compares them and selects the minimum movements that generate the maximum impact. Score for sku-store is calculated as follows:

Expected Sales: Demand forecast taking into account the available stock in the transfer period and the in-store period. 

Transportation Cost: Total transportation cost involved in a store transfer where cost per trip is included.

Visual Impact: Only applies in the event a leftover is left. A leftover affects not only expected sales (by definition it is not exposed) but also penalizes the score to reduce it as much as possible and therefore achieve the minimum.

Other restrictions: These are commonly business requirements such as maximum number of trips, trips allowed/forbidden.
