The best way to reassure the client that the data has been accurately calculated is to launch the calculations of the Advanced Account Forecast and compare the values with the legacy system. This will ensure that the forecast metrics, such as planned revenue, actual revenue, forecast quantity, and forecast revenue, are consistent and correct. The administrator can use the Data Processing Engine templates to configure the calculations and run them manually or on a schedule1. The administrator can also view the forecast results in the Accounts Health dashboard or the Account Forecast tab2. Using Data Loader to generate a .csv file and manually compare it to import files is not a reliable method, as it may introduce errors or inconsistencies in the data format or values. Requesting the users to verify the Advanced Account Forecast values of their accounts is not a feasible method, as it may be time-consuming, impractical, or inaccurate, depending on the number and complexity of the accounts. References: Learn How Forecast Data Is Created, View and Adjust Forecasts

To accommodate Universal Chemicals' requirement to show agreed and delivered volume on each schedule and in actual figures for their liquid chemicals, a Manufacturing Cloud consultant should recommend creating custom fields for volume and total volume on the sales agreement objects. Additionally, a before save flow can be used to calculate the total volume based on these fields. Metric Mapping can then be utilized to display these metrics on the sales agreements, allowing for a comprehensive view of agreed, ordered, and delivered volumes, which is essential for accurate forecasting and management of liquid chemicals in various tank sizes .

Account manager targets are records that represent the revenue goals for account managers. They can be filtered by different criteria using list views. By default, Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud provides two list views to filter account manager targets by the assigned user: Assigned by Me and Assigned to Me. Assigned by Me shows the targets that the current user has created and assigned to other users. Assigned to Me shows the targets that the current user owns and is responsible for achieving. References: Learn About Manufacturing Cloud and Explore, Filter Account Manager Targets with List Views

 Data Processing Engine (DPE) Templates are used to customize the data model and calculations for account-based forecasting in Manufacturing Cloud. DPE Templates allow users to define the dimensions, metrics, and formulas for their forecasts based on their business needs. In this case, UC needs to customize the DPE Template to include the product category as a dimension, and the ordered quantity, revenue, shipped quantity, and revenue as metrics. UC also needs to specify the custom fiscal year and the weekly forecast frequency in the DPE Template. The other options are not relevant for this requirement. Sales Agreement Metrics are used to track the performance of sales agreements, not forecasts. Advanced Account Forecast Fact object is a standard object that stores the forecast data, not a customization option. References: Customize Data Processing Engine (DPE) Templates, Account-Based Forecasting in Manufacturing Cloud

Upon the installation of the Analytics app, the default dashboards on the Account page include "Accounts agreement performance" and "Forecast analytics for the selected account." These dashboards provide a comprehensive overview of an account's performance in terms of sales agreements and forecast accuracy, allowing for in-depth analysis and strategic planning based on historical and current data.

The detailed technical design document is a document that describes the technical specifications and architecture of a solution. It is based on the functional and nonfunctional requirements that are captured in the business requirement document1. Therefore, the detailed technical design document should be completed after the business requirement document has been generated, and before the development and testing phases of the project. This ensures that the technical design aligns with the business needs and expectations, and provides a clear roadmap for the implementation team2. References: 1: Get Started with the Technical Project Documentation3, 2: Documentation and Implementation Diagrams1
