Salesforce Certified Sales Cloud Consultant — Question 95

After completing a successful Sales Cloud rollout to a new business unit at Universal Containers, sales forecasting within Salesforce is inaccurate. Upon closer inspection, some opportunities appear in the incorrect forecast category.

How should a consultant troubleshoot this issue efficiently?

Answer options

• A. Verify the Stage to Forecast Category Mappings on the Opportunity object.
• B. Write a conditional validation rule on the Forecast Category field.
• C. Create a report to determine the number of opportunities in each forecast category.
• D. Make the Forecast Category a required field on relevant Opportunity page layouts.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because verifying the Stage to Forecast Category Mappings directly addresses the root cause of the misclassification of opportunities in the forecast. Options B, C, and D do not resolve the underlying mapping issue; they either create additional complexity without fixing the problem or simply provide data without correcting the categorization.
