Viewing the Market Variability Analysis

This topic describes how to display market variability analysis for the current deal line item. By default, Siebel DMW displays the market variability analysis for all deals won during the default or override period configured in Siebel Deal Management. For more information about Siebel DMW default settings, see Siebel Deal Management Administration Guide.

You can filter a market variability analysis to include only those deals that meet the criteria you specify:

• Price type. Use this criterion to base the graph on the invoice or pocket price.
• Deal status. Use this criterion to include the deals with a particular status only, such as Won, Approved, or Lost, or All deals.
• Time period (start date, end date). Use this criterion to include the deals that have a date during a specific period only.

You also have the option to view the market variability analysis showing either the invoice or pocket price for the deals included in the analysis.
