Introduction to Status Profiles
SAP Revenue Growth Management statuses define the state or condition of transaction object (account plan or promotion) and indicated how it is behaving in relation to its life cycle or availability.
Each status profile includes a subset of available SAP Revenue Growth Management statuses inter-related with each other through a set of user actions.
These profiles are applied to an account plan type or promotion type configuration.
Advantages of Status Profiles in SAP Revenue Growth Management
Life-Cycle Management: Enables business users to track and manage account plans or promotions across the life cycle.
Operational Clarity: Every status has a specific meaning. This enables business users to quickly understand current state and take action if necessary.
- Provides more control and capability to automate the promotion or account plan phases through system triggers.
- Enables more granular reporting and analytics capabilities.
A KPI profile can include multiple KPIs that are available in the KPI configuration service.
A promotion type or an account plan type can have only one KPI profile assigned. Once a KAM creates a promotion of that specific promotion type, only those KPIs that are added to the selected KPI profile are available on the UI to select and view. This helps streamline the set of KPI that KAMs can view to aid the planning process.
However, a KPI profile can be assigned to multiple account plan types or promotion types or both.
