Sales Orders
The Sales Orders data model brings together open and historical sales order data to track the full lifecycle of an order, from entry to delivery. It includes measures such as late deliveries, on-time deliveries, quantities shipped, ordered, back-ordered, and not shipped, order amounts, discounts, taxes, and profit margins, along with geographic coordinates for customer locations. Use this data model to monitor order fulfillment, manage back orders, plan deliveries, and analyze customer and territory performance.
Benefits of this data model
- Rank customers by order amount, quantity, or profit margin to see which accounts drive revenue and margin.
- Track back orders and ordered vs. shipped quantities to monitor potential stockouts and fulfillment gaps.
- Use estimated delivery dates from the Expected Delivery view for customer updates and delivery planning.
- Break down order performance with measures for order amounts, discounts, taxes, and profit margins.
- Use customer geo coordinates to map order locations for territory and coverage analysis.
