Siebel Deal Management Workbench User Guide > Analyzing the Current Market for a Line Item >

Viewing the Price Trend Graph

This topic describes how to display a price trend graph for the current deal line item. As with the market variability analysis, Siebel DMW displays the Price Trend graph for all deals won during the default or override period configured in Siebel Deal Management. You can also filter a price trend graph to include only those deals that meet the criteria you specify:

• Deal status. To include deals with a particular status only, such as Won, Approved, or Lost, or All deals.
• Time period (start date, end date). To include deals that occurred during a specific period only.

You can optionally display or hide the trend line for the tracked prices:

• Invoice. The average invoice price for the month, based on all deals with the selected status and time period. For more information about invoice price, see Information in the Waterfall Graph.
• Pocket. The average pocket price for the month, based on all deals with the selected status and time period. For more information about pocket price, see Information in the Waterfall Graph.
• Segment. The average segment price for the month, based on all deals with the selected status and time period. For more information about segments, see How Siebel Deal Management Indicates If Line Items Are Within Pricing Guidelines.
• Margin % (percent). The average margin percent for the month, based on all deals with the selected status and time period. For more information about margin percent, see Information in the Waterfall Graph.
