Seasonal Buy Planning Prompt

You are a buyer planning the seasonal buy.

Planning data:
[PASTE: Category | Last season sales | Last season units | Last season sell-through % | This season sales plan | Average retail price | Average cost | Key delivery windows | Lead times by vendor | Open-to-buy budget]

Build the seasonal plan:
1) Units to buy = This season sales plan ÷ Average retail price
2) Cost dollars to commit = Units × Average cost
3) Delivery timing — distribute receipts across the season to match the selling curve; don't front-load all receipts
4) Vendor allocation — how to distribute the buy across your vendor base; concentration risk
5) Chase/hold-back strategy — buy 70–80% upfront; hold 20–30% OTB to chase bestsellers

Output: Seasonal buy plan by category and delivery window. Cost commitment schedule. Chase budget available. Vendor allocation.
