I’m wondering if anyone has ever created or seen a view/report that provides a forecast based on products (line-item level).
The current Deal Pipeline view provides good high-level information about Sales Potential and Stages, but I am looking to understand Sales potential of the individual products contained on Quotes. This would provide our Supply Chain with a better look at demand for individual components that often make up a capital system which can be configured in multiple ways.
We’ve created Custom Reports to record Product Sales but I’ve never come across any reports that you could forecast Product Sales.
You can create a Custom Report by going to Reports (top menu) > Reports (sub menu) > Create Report (orange button - top right) > Custom Report. Under “Create reports from scratch” choose Single Object > select Line Items.
It’s important to know that Products become Line Items once the Product is added to a Deal. The Line Item can even have diffferent properties to your Product e.g. you could change the price of a Line Item in a Deal.
