Manufacturing Cloud provides standard configuration for determining how Sales Agreement actual quantities and revenues are derived. In Setup, the administrator selects the organization's Default Actuals Calculation Mode for Sales Agreements rather than building a custom process solely to calculate actual order values.
Salesforce supports three principal actuals sources. Automatically from direct orders derives actuals from Orders that directly reference the Sales Agreement. Automatically from orders through contracts derives actuals from Orders associated with Contracts related to the agreement. Manually using API upload supports external actual information imported from systems such as an ERP.
A daily automated process then derives and calculates actual values based on the selected mode, and users can also manually recalculate an activated Sales Agreement where appropriate.
Because the question asks how the consultant should automate actual order visibility in Sales Agreements generally, the native Actuals Calculation configuration is the correct mechanism. A scheduled custom API process is necessary only when external-system data requires that architecture. Manually maintaining every schedule eliminates automation and increases operational errors.
