What is one method of automatically calculating actuals from direct contracts in Manufacturing Cloud?

In Manufacturing Cloud, one method for automatically calculating actuals from direct contracts is by using data from contracts through orders. This process involves taking the details of the contracts and linking them to the corresponding orders to compute actual performance metrics and financial outcomes. By analyzing orders that are associated with specific contracts, the system can derive insights regarding what was actually fulfilled against what was planned in the contracts.

This approach allows for a comprehensive view of the contractual obligations alongside the tangible data from orders, enabling organizations to effectively track and analyze performance. The integration of contract and order data ensures accuracy and provides a complete picture of sales performance, which is essential for planning and forecasting in the manufacturing sector.
