Product Historical Analytics Subject Area

Availability

This subject area is available in all editions of Oracle CRM On Demand.

Business Purpose

This subject area enables you to analyze revenue metrics by product, account, user, opportunity, date, and territory dimensions. The level of detail of this subject area is slightly higher than the Opportunity-Product Reporting subject area, because it allows you to analyze opportunity revenues from the focus of the product dimension. This subject area bridges the analysis gap between the Opportunities Reporting subject area and Opportunity-Product Reporting subject area.

Numeric custom fields, such as those with a type of CUR, INT, or NUM, are available as metrics in the optimized custom metrics folder, if the record type is the driving object in a specific subject area. For example, the Account record type is the driving object in the Account History subject area.
