Tip #1334: Video guide to 2020 Wave 1: Sales Forecasting in Dynamics 365 Part 1: Setting up Forecasts

First introduced as a preview feature in 2019, the sales forecasting capability in Dynamics 365 is now generally available and enhanced in 2020 Wave 1.

  • Create multiple forecast models
  • Territory or organization forecast templates
  • Configurable forecast columns
  • Sales quotas
  • Support for manual values and over-riding calculated values

Sales forecasting is what sales goals should have been. In the first part of our video overview of sales forecasting, we set up sales forecasting, add a forecast, and show how you can customize it.

    Great videos on the forecast feature. You showed me a few items I had missed when trying to configure.

    Question. I’ve built out the forecast but I’m unable to see forecast in the sales forecast view. Any ideas what I could have missed?

    Thank you,
    John
