Best Practices & Tips

Best Practices & Tips

1. If needed, we can change the schedule to weekly (from daily). If so, then note the grace period you set in VariableW should be either 0 or 7.  If you want the reps reports to match what is going to the managers, then set to 0. If you want to give a grace period to give the Sales Rep a chance to clean up their opportunities before reporting to the manager, then set it to 7 so they won't report until the following week.
