Inventory Forecast Service, Booking Calendar

Changes and optimizations

We fixed an issue in our Inventory Forecast logic where weekly/monthly products were not properly forecasted. To solve this we enabled as a patch solution 2 new feature settings that can be used to work with the changed logic. These feature settings will define org wide the week and month starting day. Version 2.171 will allow the management of this on a product level.
