Which Actuals Calculation mode must be selected to avoid bringing actual orders data into Manufacturing Cloud?

To avoid bringing actual orders data into Manufacturing Cloud, selecting the mode that allows for a manual upload assists in controlling what data is actually inputted into the system. This option provides the capability to specifically choose any actuals data that needs to be included, thus avoiding unintended automatic integrations of actual orders data.

Manually using the Actual Orders API or manually using API upload does grant the opportunity to selectively integrate data but they may still involve retrieving data from pre-established sources that could inadvertently include actual orders. On the other hand, automatic data fetching from orders through contracts or from sales agreements inherently involves bringing in actual orders data directly, which does not align with the intention to exclude it.

By choosing manual upload, organizations can ensure that only the desired data is entered into Manufacturing Cloud, maintaining clearer visibility and control over actuals management, while preventing actual order data from being included inadvertently.
