Create Custom Fields to Capture Cost and Profit Metrics
To capture fixed cost and variable cost details, create custom fields on Price Book
Entry. Then add those custom fields on the Advanced Account Forecast Fact object so that the data
can be written back for each period by the Data Processing Engine job. Additionally, you can add
custom fields for other measures that demand planners want to view on the forecast
display.
