MACS Forecasting Module

Forecasting establishes and maintains forecast data. Enter sales quotas or forecasts into MACS. Forecast Worksheets (below) are available for quick and easy entry.

  • You can forecast sales, commission received and orders.
  • Space is provided for current and next year's forecasted sales for each salesman's customer buying from a particular manufacturer.
  • Forecasts may be calculated automatically by setting next year's forecast to a percentage of the current year.
  • Forecasts may be entered by each salesman for a manufacturer total or for each customer/manufacturer.
