Using PS/nVision
To set up forecasting, use the Forecast OM and Forecast Product components.
PeopleSoft Order Management makes it easy for you to analyze your sales. You can forecast how many orders a customer, group of customers, or an entire region will book or ship in any given fiscal period. You can also predict how many products or groups of products will be sold per month, as well as their total revenue. If you want to be more specific, you can forecast the quantity of a certain product, a customer, customer group, or region will book or ship.
In addition, PeopleSoft Order Management comes with several predefined sales analysis report examples that you can generate using PS/nVision. PS/nVision is a powerful reporting tool that enables you to create reports and graphics to enhance your decision-making process.
PeopleSoft Order Management provides you with a number of sample sales analysis reports. You can use these reports as delivered, or use the flexibility of PS/nVision to modify them to meet your unique business requirements. The sample sales analysis reports address product bookings, product sales, customer bookings, and customer sales.
To use this functionality, log on to the PeopleTools windows client.
