Set up Campaign Item Revenue Splits (Forecasts)

...

Forecasts (Sales Goals) and Revenue Splits allow you to plan and track forecasted revenue (sales goals) per sales representative and compare them to real revenue as well as split this attained revenue (to calculate commissions) on the media campaign level between the involved sales team members. You can match the revenue against your forecasts (sales goals) per sales representative by Period, Site, Media and if applicable for each publication date depending on your needs. 4.10 Sales and Site Goals (Budgeting and Forecasting)

Warning

Important:

Please make sure that you decide what you like to report on before setting up your goals and splits.

  • Set Forecasts 

    • with or without SITE

    • with or without Advertiser and Agency

  • Do not mix SITE and Advertiser in one record. Make sure you choose either or, otherwise your Visual Force Page might not display the data correctly.

  • Either split Campaign Items or Revenue Schedules (Version 2.81 and higher). The latter has the advantage to split revenue calculated by delivery data not "plan" data, important mostly for digital sales.

If you change this at a later phase you will receive conflicting and wrong data.

ℹ️ Recommendation: Test this in your Sandbox and/or ask your ADvendio Consultant beforehand.
