What a Forecast Commits You To, and the Day It Stops Being Recoverable

One row per thing you have ordered or blocked against this forecast, including capacity — a booked line is money committed as surely as a dye lot is. Committed days before cut is that item's lead time, which is when the order had to be placed rather than when you would have liked to. Unrecoverable days before cut is the honest column and the one worth arguing over: it is the day the item stops having any other home, which for greige is never, for a dye lot is the day it is started, and for a printed trim is the day it goes to the printer. Recoverable share and the discount are what a real buyer of that item would take it back at, not the invoice value.
