Week-by-Week Sales Stage Reporting

Hi,
We're trying to have a week by week report where the Opportunities have a Sales Stage comparison by week. Ideally, we'd like two columns for sales stage such as "Sales Stage Previous Week" and "Sales Stage Current Week". I've tried various SQL expressions, etc and nothing has seemed to work correctly. I was looking through some notes and thought about maybe using Combined Reports with historical and real-time information. I don't even know if this approach is appropriate..
We're really at a roadblock at the moment. If anyone has any additional suggestions, they would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi smjohn,
Below are two tables of what we'd like to have on our weekly comparison. Either one would work. As you can see, it's a comparison between sales stage and Revenue for each Opportunity. It shows that for Opp A, Revenue this week and last week is the same, but Sales Stage differs. For Opp B, Revenue has increased by $500, 000, but the sales stage is still the same.
I don't know what capabilities analytics has, but this would be very useful for us. Any guidance would be great!
Thanks again.
**I formatted the tables, but it isn't coming through when I save... sorry about that.
Option 1:
*1. Week* *2. Opportunity Name*     *3. Revenue*     *4. Sales Stage*
Current Week     Opp A     $300,000     Definition
Last Week     Opp A     $300,000     Generation
Current Week     Opp B     $10,500,000     Validation
Last Week     Opp B     $10,000,000     Validation
Option 2:
*1. Opportunity Name*     *2. Revenue-Current Week* *3. Revenue-Last Week* *4. Sales Stage-Current Week* *5. Sales Stage-Last Week*
Opp A     $300,000     $300,000 Definition Generation
Opp B     $10,500,000 $10,000,000 Validation Validation

Historical Opportunity Sales Stage Report

I have a basic report that shows Opportunity Name, Historical Sales Stage, and Stage Start Date.
How can I display a column that shows the previous Sales Stage along with it?
Thanks for your help.

I've created custom fields for each sales stage with Workflow rules that update the fields with "Timestamps" when the SalesStage changes. Example, field "Closed/Won Timestamp" field is populated when the SalesStage is changed to "Closed/Won" with the current Timestamp.
Then you filter or include these fields in your analysis and can have "Timebased" reporting.
I've also created custom fields to Timestamp when the Owner is changed, when a CloseDate is changed, when a lead is "Qualified", when Total Revenue is changed, when a Account "Type" is changed and what was the Previous status.
Each custom field has Workflow that Updates Values upon the rule being triggered.

Plotting graphs week by week.

All
How would i plot a graph out that showed each week of the months data. So
select null link, clientname, trunc(avg(totalroundtripsecs),3) as " " from tablename where to_date(endate,'MM/DD/YYYY')
    between (select trunc(add_months(sysdate, -1 )) from dual) and to_date((select trunc(sysdate) from dual))
group by clientnameSo the above would go back 1 month from today and show me all the data for that month. But if i wanted to break that up and say go the first week of this month and select all 7 days worth of data and show me it, and then go to the 2nd week of this month and show me all 7 days worth of dat. I guess something like the the add_months but for add_weeks

Reporting / Sales Stages and Sales Processus

Hello,
I have 2 Sales Processus.
In each Sales Processus I have the same name for the Sales Stage ("Closed/Won").
When I created a simple report showing the Sales Stage and the Name of the opportunity,I have 2 blocks with the 2 items "Closed/Won".
How could I manage to have only 1 block "Closed/Won" ?
Thanks for your help.

ML, in addition to Sales Stage and Opportunity Name bring in Sales Process Name. Now you should be able to filter on the correct sales process.

Report Issue: Previous Weeks, Current Week and Next Week Values

Hello Folks,
this is a typical requirement...at-least typical for me..
we have 20 weeks of data at weekly level. we have four Metrics out of which two are coming from Database and rest two are calculated metrics.
Metric0: On Hand Qty
Metric1: Past Qty
Metric2: sell Qty
Metric3: unsell qty
Metric4: Total Qty
the report will always be shown for 20 weeks, but depending on whats my current week, all the past weeks should be flagged as Past Week. (so i wrote a case statement for this). for Instance: I am in Week11, so my weeks in should be Past Week, Wk11, Wk12.........Wk20.
Metric 1 is always dependent on result of Metric4 (This is the Complexity) per week basis
Metric1 for Past weeks value in Week Column will be wk1 to wk10 On Hand Qty (fox ex: 80)
Metric4 for Pass Weeks Value in Week Column will be Metric1 for Pastweeks + Metric2 for Past Weeks (For Ex: 20) (Past weeks mean wk1 to wk10)
value of Metric4 is now 100
Metric1 for Week11 Now should 100 (From Past weeks Calculation)
Metric4 for Week11 will be Metric1 for Week11(100) + Metric2 for Week11(10) + Metric3 for Week11 (10)
Now...Metric1 for Week12 will be 120 which is wk11 total (100+10+10) and goes on Until Week 20
Any Ideas how to achieve this in obiee 10g
Thanks
Rake

Please try out in this way....
Database level --Create opaque view & procedure or function to get the week total,week ago total, current week , Past week ,future week & do rpd modelling and use PIVOT VIEW.
At answers:
1.Here Previous week M4 is the current week M1 which means it is a cumulative value carried forward week by week.
2. M2 & M3 are direct database columns.
3. You have time hierarchy with WEEK Level.
M1 - ago(rsum(m2+m3),weeklevel)
M4- RSUM(M2+M3)
week -AGO(RSUM(M2+M3)- M2-M3-RSUM(M2+M3)
w1-0-10-20-30
w2-30-11-21-62
w3-62-12-22-96
Now you can PIVOT IT to get in
W1-W2-W3
M1 0 - 30-62
M2 10-11-12
M3 20 -21-22
M4 30 - 62-96
NOW PASTWEEK (W1-W10), CURRENT WEEK(W11)-W12
1.as you see cumulative here you need to use BINS.means ( case when week <= currentweek(maybe variable) then prior) else week)
2. UNION - combine similar request - First cirteria week <= w11 and second criteria week > week 11 --combine pivot it. Use sum agg in fx criteria1.
Hope this should solve your pblm at answers.

Pipeline snapshot Report and Sales Stage Change

How to identify the sales stage on the day when the Pipeline snap shot was taken.
Here is my scenario I have to build a pipeline snap shot for the last 3 months of all opportunities where sales stage on the day of the snapshot is not in say Sales Stage 'A' In the pipeline history report the opportunity section showcases the current sales stage and not the sales stage on the day when the snapshot was made.

Dear Praveen Kumar
Have you tried with VBAP where sale order details at item level would be stored.
Moreover, to my knowledge, there won't be any changes as for as pricing is concerned at sale order level but there is at billing level. Normally, any price increase / decrease would reflect in billing. So why dont you to table join through SQVI VBAP (for sale order details) and VBRP (for billing details) so that you can compare the selling price in sale order with billing.
Thanks

Report on No of Opportunities in sales Stage

Hi All, I have a requirement to display following report:
Report should have 5 coloum 1) Current Sales Stage of Opportunity 2) No of opportunities which are in current stage from 3 months 3 ) No of opportunities which are in current stage from 6 months 4)No of opportunities which are in current stage from 9 months 5) No of opportunities which are in current stage from 12 months.
I tried to do this using Case IF fnction but not unable to do same. Can you please help me to achive this requirement.
Thanks in Advance!!
---Priyanka

Hello,
I have built several reports like yours using FILTER function instead of CASE IF.
example: I wanted to filter number of customers which are contact telephone number populated
FILTER("Account Metrics"."# of Accounts" USING ("- Primary Contact"."Primary Contact Work Phone #" IS NULL)).
So in your case you have to filter the number of opportunities by date range you need.
I hope it will help you.

Last Week - This Week Snapshot

Hi,
I'm trying to produce a sales pipeline report to show comparisons from last week to this week on certain fields within the sales stage history subject area. I have got this to work for the Total Contract Value field by using the variables VALUEOF("LAST_WEEK_BEGIN_DT") and VALUEOF("CURRENT_WEEK_BEGIN_DT"), within a column formula and filtering that column by last week, then dulicating that column and filtering by this week, i.e. FILTER("Historical Sales Stage".Revenue USING (Opportunity."Close Date" >= VALUEOF("LAST_WEEK_BEGIN_DT"))). The issue I'm having is if I then want to do this for other non - metirc columns (i.e. Probability %), it doesnt allow me because you cant filter on non metric columns within a formula. So how else can I go about this please??

No Daily Sales/Trend Report for today?

Has anyone received your iTunes Connect Daily Sales/Trend Report for today (1/25/10)? I have not received mine yet. First time it hasn't been up at this hour.
It usually arrives at 2:30am (it's 9:30am here now) or if it's delayed, usually in another region, there's a note in big red text on the reports page.

As I recall (back when I only had a few apps just starting in the store), yes, no daily sales means no daily report. Wait for the weekly report to confirm.

How tomaintain product revenue when the oppty is in sales stage Closed/Lost

When the opportunity is in the closed/lost stage the product revenue is always zero. How can we move the opportunity to closed/lost but still maintain the revenue values for the products.
We use the product revenue to report opportunity revenue...
thanks..

I always use "Opportunity-Product History" for my pipeline reports. In this subject area "Product Revenue" is available for Opportunities which are "Closed/Lost". I would log this as a bug with Oracle as it clearly should not set the Product Revenue to 0 in the Product History subject area.
In this subject area I can create reports and trace back Opportunity Revenue and Product Revenue. I have multiple pipeline reports running at both levels which are accurate for mutiple deals. If you do decide to use this subject area beware of the following:
- Dont use the Sales Stage or Probability Successs % at Product level as it does not update as a user steps through the sales stages. Use the opportunity details for accuracy
- If you want a weighted product revenue calculate this based on the Opportunity Probability % and the Total Product Revenue, do not use the out of the box metrics
Regarding your second question, Opportunity Revenue puts the total opportunity amount in your pipeline on the date of the opportunity close date. It also gets updated when a user adds a product and presses the "Update Opportunity Totals" button, this sets the Opportunity Revenue to the total of the Product Revenue from the products you entered. Sometimes users forget to press this button and the revenue is out of alignment. Opportunity Revenue can also be updated if you have the setting "Product Averaging" enabled in your company profile, this takes an average of the Product Revenue and updated the Opportunity Total when a user presses the "Update Opportunity Totals" button. These metrics are updated each evening, you are using the History subject areas which take 24hours to refresh. Does that answer your question?

Creating Hierarchy Year-Month-Week-Dayof Week.

Hi,
We have a requirement to create new HR report - Labour Efficiency.
We require 'Date of work' in BI report.
It takes value from CATSDB table, WORKDATE field in R/3. Its Data Type- DATS , Integer length 16, output length 10.
But in BI report they want hierarchy Year-Month-Week-Dayof Week for this 'Date of work' field.
How this can be achieved?
Edited by: Amruta_Kedar on Sep 6, 2011 8:18 AM

Hi Dilek,
I have checked out the link and procedure given.
I have never used this option neither any of the time hierachie is active in our system. Could you please elaborate how we used these hierarchies in BEx?
I am confused which hierachy is to be selcted here. I didnt find any hierarchy Year-Month-Week-Dayof Week.
Also, where do we activete these hierarchies (R/3 or BI side) ?
Another question : 'Date of work' infoobject should be a characteristic of type DATS or a key figure of type DATE??
which option will be better to do this kind of analyis on date?

Workflow issue on Sales Stage

Hello: Hoping I can get some help with Workflow syntax
Premise: Every time a sales stage is updated (except for when the opportunity is closed/lost or closed inactive) we copy that stage into a field called Last Stage. This way we can generate reports on what stage the opportunity was at before it was lost or inactivated - management and marketing can use this info to determine new sales strategies/campaigns etc.
Here's what I've come up with:
Workflow Name     Opty: update last stage
Record Type     Opportunity
Active
Trigger Event     Before modified record saved
Workflow Rule Condition     [<SalesStage>] <> "Closed/Lost" OR "Closed/Inactive"
Action
Field Name     Last Stage
Value          [<SalesStage>]
Overwrite Existing Values     checked
This workflow is working in that it does update the last stage field with the sales stage except if Closed/lost
however ... when I select Closed/Inactive it overwrites the Last stage with Closed/Lost
Again expressions are not my strong suit, if you could assist in pointing out the error of my ways, I'd be eternally grateful
Cheers
K

Not sure I understand - I don't think the previous condition is relevant here. What I needed to happen is for the sales stage to be copied to last stage in every instance - except if the stage is Closed/Lost OR Closed/Inactive - if it is closed/lost OR closed/inactive I don't want it to update.
If you still think it is a Pre condition that I need, could you please assist with helping me with the syntax? None of my muddling produced any that would pass the syntax test anyway.
Thanks
K

Unlinking Probability % from Sales Stage

Is there a way to unlink "Probability %" from "Sales Stage"? Our reps want to be able to enter a percentage of probablility manually, not to have it computed from the "Sales Stage" value.

Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear you need to keep sales stage on the screen as this is required for the system. What i was referring to was creating another field for Probability that can be used. Personally I was say it makes good business sense to keep away from this as do you really need to report on Probability anything under 10 increments. Do you understand that your only defaulting a minimum Probability based on the sales stage. This means you might change the sales stage and the probability will also update but you can also change the Probability up and down without impacting the sales stage
