1. Quote Approval Status

The Quote Approval Status chart includes all the quotes created from Jul 2021, with the stage of "Closed - Sales Started" and "Quote Expired" . Four quote approvals status are analyzed: "Approved", "No Approve Needed", "Approve Needed"," No Deviation" for each deviation measure.

Deviation measures 

  • Payment Term: The expected payment on a sale. A delay on the payment is a deviation.
  • Price Deviation: A discount (not limited to) on the listed price 
  • Incoterms: a deviation on the commercial terms
  • Bracket*: Opportunity Brackets are the object/records that ultimately will be sent to SAP and that contain the data for a specific "Pricing Condition".
  • Volume deviation

The Payment Term Deviation by GBU bar chart (Chart 1) provides us the number and percentage of total quotes of each quotes approval status within a selected period. The other four charts (Chart 2-5)provide info about the number of OLI** and percentage of total OLIs of each quote approval status.

*Opportunity bracket more info available on this page

**OLI refers to Opportunities Line Item
