Forecasts in Pega Sales Automation
Forecasting provides Sales Management with a summary of the pipeline for the year.
The forecast:
- Is organized by fiscal quarter and category
- Represents all the opportunities the sales representative is working on
- Is used for planning and analysis of the pipeline
- Displays the four quarters of the fiscal year along with the forecast categories
Sales Managers can see changes:
- To the forecast over the past 90 days in real-time
- To Amount, Close Date, and Sales Stage
- That negatively impact the business, such as date slippages or decreases to sales values
In addition, Territory owners can adjust the Stage, Amount, and Close Date, and set a forecast category on each opportunity. An operator with the SFAForecastUpdateAll permission can update the forecast for all opportunities.
Adjustments are visible to any user who owns a territory above the territory where the adjustment was made.
