End of the note.

The Sales Analysis dashboard enables sales managers to understand the sales performance and status of a company’s most important customers and employees.

The dashboard KPIs are based on the standard functions of SAP Business One, version for SAP HANA. The application makes the following assumptions for sales processes:

The sales quota is maintained in the budget of the sales revenue account by month.
The sales process starts with opportunity creation and ends with invoice creation. Only the invoiced amount is revenue realized. Canceling an invoice or creating a credit memo impacts the revenue of the month in which the cancellation or credit is posted.
If an opportunity is lost, the sales employee changes the opportunity status to Lost.

Sales Analysis: Dashboard Structure and Behavior

The Sales Analysis dashboard has the following sections:

The upper part provides an overview of sales performance.
The lower part displays detailed information about the top five customers or sales employees.

All amounts in the dashboard are shown in the local currency, which is displayed under the title bar on the right side. In the lower part of the dashboard, you can use the dropdown list to switch the analysis from Customers, which is the default, to Sales Employees. By default, details about the top customer or top employee are displayed on the right side of the lower part. To display the details for another customer or employee, click the bar for the customer or employee for which you want to view detailed information.

Sales Analysis: Company Overview

The upper general sales performance part covers four KPIs: sales amount by month, last year’s sales amount by month, sales quota, and sales opportunity win rate.

Chart	Type and Display	KPI
Fiscal Year Analysis	Bar chart showing revenue for the current year and the previous year (Sales Amount and Last Year’s Sales Amount); line for Quota. For the current year and last year, the sales amount is shown for all months.	The sales amount calculation is based on invoice amount and grouped by posting calendar month. The calculation logic is the same as for the Sales Analysis report. Invoice-related documents and localization A/R documents that impact the revenue account are also considered. Quota uses the budget definition of revenue account, which is the first budget scenario defined for one fiscal year. Make sure the revenue account has an account type of Sales and is on the credit side.
Opportunity Win Rate	Line chart showing the ratio of won opportunities to the total of closed opportunities for the period. Two lines are shown: one line for the previous year, one line for the current year to date.	The chart compares the current year’s win rate to the previous year’s rate by month. For each displayed month, the win rate equals the number of won opportunities in this month divided by the total number of closed opportunities in this month. Closed opportunities include opportunities with status Won or Lost. Closing date refers to opportunity Closing Date.
