Forecast revenue on an Opportunity?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

Problem:  Can I forecast revenue when I'm building an opportunity? 

I'm investigating Dynamics CRM for a move from another CRM system.

Here is an example of what I'm trying to do:

I'd like to be able to enter this forecast against this Opportunity:

So I could run a report:

  • Estimated revenue next month (if this were Sept-14, then I'd expect this Opportunity to be forecast at £20,000 * 90% probability).  If probability was at 90%

We don't use CRM for creating invoices or billing.

Many thanks

    Hi Scott,

    What you are looking for is a weighted estimated revenue. You will need to do some customization and the basic steps are follows

    create a new field to hold the value and then calculate the required value. I would suggest using javascript however you could also business rules or real time workflows

    You may prefer the user to enter the estimated revenue into the new field and then output the value of the calculation into the existing estimated revenue that way you don't have to change dashboards, etc .
