Set up Campaign Item Revenue Splits (Forecasts)
Forecasts (Sales/Site Goals) and Revenue Splits allow you to plan and track sales goals (forecasted revenue) 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 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).
| Info |
|---|
The general feature is called Forecasts in the org and it has two record types assigned to it: Site and Sales Goals. |
| Warning |
|---|
Important: Please make sure that you decide what you like to report on before setting up your goals and splits.
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. |

3 Apex: Create Campaign Item Revenue Split Records
The Apex job creates Campaign Item Revenue Splits records for each Media Campaign Team Member and Publication Date per Campaign Item. If there does not exist any Media Campaign Team Member, only one record is being created per Publication Date and Campaign Item.
...
Each line item or the sum of all revenue schedules is split according to the percentage in the Team Member entry.
If there is no team member entry within the media campaign, a record without a sales representative will have to be created with 100% share.
A record is being created for each publication date.
3.1 Schedule the APEX Job CampaignItemRevenueSplit
An apex job creates the new records at the Campaign Item level and enters the amount from relevant campaign items into the revenue split object.
...
The exact start time will depend on the job queue activity.
3.2 When to re-run the APEX Job
If you wish to start the Campaign Item Revenue Split please take care of Amount, Quantity and any Discount fields that you use in your Org.
Please start the job again for all relevant items or even all items if you change any of the following fields in the mentioned objects
the PageEquivalency on an existing Ad type
First Name or Last Name of an Existing User on Media Campaign Team Member or Forecast
Date fields on an existing Publication Date
Account Name on an existing Account in the Advertiser Agency Relation
Amount Field on an existing Feature Setting Amount To Split
Otherwise, the Campaign Item Revenue Split record will show old values.
3.3 Build your own scheduler for the APEX Jobs
You can also use these jobs in your own scheduler in APEX.

4 Modify Amount
In addition to changing the visualforce page for the forecast wizard, you can edit the following settings:
4.1 Split campaign Items by booked quantity
The standard amount field for splitting is the N2, API field ADvendio__Amount_net_net__c, but you can change this. Please navigate to App Launcher → Feature Settings and edit the record called "AmountToSplit" (Feature Name is RevenueForecast). You are able to define in the field Value other possible amount fields (API Name). "AmountToSplit" will be ignored if "RevenueScheduleAmountToSplit" exists.
...
Feature Setting Name | AmountToSplit |
|---|---|
Feature Name | RevenueForecast |
Value | The API name of field of object Campaign Item |
4.2 Split campaign items by revenue schedule fields
To change from splitting each campaign item (default) to splitting the total amount of all revenue schedule records add a feature setting with the values below.
...
| Info |
|---|
"AmountToSplit" will be ignored if "RevenueScheduleAmountToSplit" exists. |
5 Automize and Optimize the system
If you like to save yourself from manually running the apex job after changing certain objects (see above "When to re-run the APEX job") it is also possible to set up Lightning Flows that start a process to watch which changes have been done and automatically start the job if needed. You can request those flows by sending an email to support@advendio.com or by asking one of your ADvendio consultants. Either roll those out yourself or have this done as a paid service by an ADvendio Consultant.
