            Set Up Product Hierarchy and Product Seasonality in Sales Planning

            An effective sales plan depends on aligning your company’s important products with your seller strategy. In Sales Planning, set up a product hierarchy and specify seasonality for the products that your team sells. Seasonality represents the emphasis placed on a particular product during a certain time of year. For example, seasonality can increase in the last fiscal quarter. A product hierarchy also helps with Quota Planning.

              If someone set up products previously, click the gear icon Gear icon for the Products item.
            2. In the Product Setup window, add products to your product hierarchy.
              1. In the Child Products section, enter the name of a product or category and press Return (macOS) or Enter (Windows).
              2. To delete a product or category, click the trash icon next to its name.
            3. In the Product Setup window, specify seasonality percentages for the product hierarchy.
              1. Select a node in the product hierarchy, click the three dots in the Seasonality section, and click Edit.

              Tip
              Tip By default, child products inherit the seasonality values of its parent product. To override a child product’s inherited seasonality, edit the child product’s values. To apply the same seasonality values to all products in your hierarchy, edit the values of the All Products node.
            4. To save your changes, make sure that you see a green checkmark in the lower left corner, and close the Product Setup window.
