Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The Sales Agreement Product Schedule object is used to track the planned and actual quantities of products that are part of a sales agreement. A formula field on this object can be used to calculate the forecast deviation, which is the difference between the planned and actual quantities. This can help managers and sales reps to monitor the performance of their run rate business and identify any variances from the contractual terms. The formula field can also be used to create reports and dashboards that show the forecast deviation by product, customer, or any other dimension.Reference:Sales Agreement Product Schedule,Forecast Deviation

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of these 'forecast deviation' problems. Can we just sell them a crystal ball and call it a day?

Hold up, are we sure the answer isn't D) 'Ask the magic 8-ball'? That might be the most reliable way to forecast these crazy customers!

A) Using a DPE job? That's overkill for something as simple as forecast deviation. Why introduce that complexity when you can just use a formula field?
