Manufacturing-Cloud-Professional Salesforce Exam Lab Questions

 Data Processing Engine (DPE) Templates are used to customize the data model and calculations for account-based forecasting in Manufacturing Cloud. DPE Templates allow users to define the dimensions, metrics, and formulas for their forecasts based on their business needs. In this case, UC needs to customize the DPE Template to include the product category as a dimension, and the ordered quantity, revenue, shipped quantity, and revenue as metrics. UC also needs to specify the custom fiscal year and the weekly forecast frequency in the DPE Template. The other options are not relevant for this requirement. Sales Agreement Metrics are used to track the performance of sales agreements, not forecasts. Advanced Account Forecast Fact object is a standard object that stores the forecast data, not a customization option. References: Customize Data Processing Engine (DPE) Templates, Account-Based Forecasting in Manufacturing Cloud

 The Mass Update function allows you to update multiple values of a single metric of a sales agreement in the Sales Agreement Terms tab. You can use this function to quickly adjust the planned quantity, revenue, or margin of multiple products and periods with a single action. The available actions are Decrease By, Increase By, and Replace With. These actions let you specify a percentage or an absolute value to decrease, increase, or replace the existing values. For example, you can use the Decrease By action to reduce the planned quantity of all products by 10% for the next quarter. You can also add a note to explain the reason for the mass update. References: Mass Update Sales Agreement Action, Update Multiple Values of Sales Agreements

According to the Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud documentation, you can use the Formula Builder on the Account Forecasting page in Setup to create formulas for forecast calculations. You can define your own formulas for quantity and revenue based on sales agreements, orders, opportunities, and account metrics. You can create either a single formula for all periods, or multiple formulas for different period ranges. If the forecast display period is 12 months, you can create up to 12 formulas. However, if you want to calculate an account based forecast for the next 13 months, you need to create separate formulas for periods 1-12 and period 13, because the Formula Builder does not support more than 12 periods in a single formula. This way, you can ensure that the forecast calculations are accurate and consistent for each month. References: Build Formulas to Calculate Forecast, Configure Forecast Metrics and Formulas

When an administrator changes the team member hierarchy type for account manager targets, the existing targets are affected by this change. The status of all existing targets becomes read-only, which means that they cannot be edited or deleted. This is to prevent any inconsistency or data loss due to the change in hierarchy. The new hierarchy type will apply only to the new targets that are created after the change. References: Choose Team Member Hierarchy for Account Manager Targets
