Support for Multiple-Year Deals: Improved Reporting, Billing, and Forecasting 

To report revenue metrics for customer contracts spanning multiple years, companies often resort to customizing Sales Cloud to produce the data they need. So we set-out to offer a simpler solution. 

Within Subscription Management, Place now perfectly calculates bookings, billings, and revenue over multiple years from a single Opportunity record. 

Now, information about multi-year contract revenue flows seamlessly into reports, bookings metrics, and billing and revenue schedules based on Opportunity Product start and end dates.

And any Opportunity Products not meant to co-terminate with the contract, like non-recurring charges, are prevented from flowing into the Renewal Opportunity when users click the Create Renewal button.

Until the Next Release…
