Salesforce Accredited Professional Certification Manufacturing-Cloud-Professional New Questions

To meet the requirements of UC, a Manufacturing Cloud consultant should recommend the following features: Partner Visit Management, Action Plans, and Generic Visit Key Performance Indicators. Partner Visit Management helps sales managers schedule visits to dealer and distributor locations, monitor performance, follow up on sales agreements, and capture key metrics1. Action Plans allow sales managers to create lists of tasks and associated assessment indicators that are commonly repeated across multiple visits2. Generic Visit Key Performance Indicators enable sales managers to compare the expected metrics versus the actual metrics for the key performance indicators they defined and then take necessary actions3. These features help UC to standardize the tasks to be performed during visits, understand how effective these visits are in getting partners to renew, and report on this data in Salesforce. The other features are not relevant for the given scenario. Advanced Account Forecasting is used to create holistic forecasts based on sales agreements, orders, opportunities, and account metrics4. CRM Analytics for Manufacturing is used to gain insights into sales performance, pipeline health, and customer satisfaction. Experience Cloud is used to create branded digital experiences for customers, partners, and employees. Service Console for Manufacturing is used to provide customer service and support across multiple channels. References: Partner Visit Management Workflow, Build Distributor Relationships with Partner Visit Management, Strengthen Relationships with Partners, Create Holistic Forecasts with Advanced Account Forecasting, [CRM Analytics for Manufacturing], [Experience Cloud], [Service Console for Manufacturing]

Account forecasts are long-term projections of revenue and volume for accounts based on sales agreements, opportunity products, and account manager targets. Account forecasts can be generated and displayed monthly or quarterly, depending on the business needs. The forecast frequency can be changed in the account forecast settings by an administrator. However, changing the forecast frequency has some consequences that the administrator needs to be aware of. First, a full regeneration of all the eligible account forecasts will be carried out, meaning that all the existing account forecasts will be recalculated based on the new frequency. This may take some time and consume system resources. Second, all the previously active account forecasts will expire, meaning that they will no longer be available for viewing or editing. This is to avoid confusion and inconsistency in the forecast data. Therefore, the administrator should carefully consider the impact of changing the forecast frequency and communicate the change to the account managers and other stakeholders. References: Define Account Forecast Settings, Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud Flashcards, Configure Forecast Generation and Display Settings

n: A stepped calculation method calculates a benefit structure based on the quantity of units sold within a specified range. For example, if you sell 150 units, and the first 100 units earn $0 per unit and the next 50 units earn $10 per unit, the total benefit is $500. This is different from the other calculation methods, which are:

Specified: Calculates a benefit structure based on a fixed amount or percentage for each unit sold.

Elapsed: Calculates a benefit structure based on the time elapsed since the start of the sales agreement.

Aggregate: Calculates a benefit structure based on the total quantity of units sold across all products in the sales agreement. References: What Is Manufacturing Cloud?, [Create a Benefit Structure for Sales Agreements]

 Account and market growth percentages are values that account managers can enter to indicate the expected growth of their account and the market for their products in the upcoming period. These values are used in the forecast formula to calculate the forecast quantity and revenue for future periods. The new values are used in forecasting the future periods only when the account and market growth percentages are part of the forecast formula. If the forecast formula does not include these values, then editing them will not affect the forecast calculation. References: Create Accurate Account Forecasts, Configure Forecast Metrics and Formulas
