If both types are set up by your administrator please choose the correct record type and proceed: 

1.1 Sales Goals

1.1.1 Forecast - Sales Goals Visual Force Page

A new forecast or editing an existing forecast for each sales representative can be done by using the visual force page or the object Forecast itself. Advertiser, Agency, Site, Media and Publication Dates can be used. However, not all fields are required (like Advertiser or Agency), so that a more coarse planning is also possible. 

If no record is there click on the little green PLUS icon to add a new record:

Enter all relevant information to define the sales goals for each sales rep by the appropriate period:

1. Advertiser: Value is automatically filled from Advertiser Agency Relation (Exception: Creating a new record from Object Forecast).
2. Agency: Value is automatically filled from Advertiser Agency Relation (Exception: Creating a new record from Object Forecast).
3. Site: Select a Site using the Lookup icon.
4. Media: Value is automatically filled by selecting a site (if media is filled at this site).
5. Amount: Enter an amount.
6. Start Date: Select a Start Date to define specific date-range.
7. Period: Select a Period to define specific date-range.
8. Publication Dates: Publication Dates are automatically filled dependent by date-range.
9. Add / Delete: Click the green plus icon to create a new line or the red delete icon to remove the corresponding line.

Click the button Save to store all new and changed records.

Note: The split ratio for shared media campaigns is entered at Media Campaign level. It is not possible to define overlapping Forecasts (Period or Advertiser, Agency, Site). You are only able to edit your own Forecasts.

Sales Rep C - Annual delivery revenue goal $1,500,000

1.3 Create Advertiser-Agency-Relations (Optional)

Each sales representative or her manager has the possibility to enter their sales goal for a certain period. This may be based on advertiser and agency, or by site and media, and should be valid for a certain time period. The following data can be entered but not all fields are required (like Advertiser or Agency), so that a more coarse planning is also possible. Also, a standard Salesforce approval process can be used to approve sales goals by a manager.

Enter the sales goals for each sales rep by the appropriate period:

1. Navigate to an existing Advertiser-Agency-Relation. Otherwise, you have to create one first.
2. Click the button Revenue Forecast

You can also enter the sales goals for each sales rep at the Object Forecasts. Navigate to App Launcher > Forecasts and click on the button New Forecast. If needed, an approval process can be set up to approve sales goals by a delegated manager.
