 The error “System.CalloutException: Unauthorized endpoint” indicates that the external endpoint is not whitelisted in Salesforce. To allow Apex callouts to access an external endpoint, the administrator or the developer must register the URL in Remote Site Settings. This is a security feature that prevents unauthorized access to external resources from Apex code. Creating a connected app for the external system or ensuring that the integration user has the necessary permissions to perform the callout are not sufficient to fix this error, as they do not address the issue of whitelisting the endpoint12. References: Apex Developer Guide: Making HTTP Callouts, Apex Developer Guide: Remote Site Settings

To export Account Based Forecast data, the user needs to add the fields that capture the forecasting quantity data, including any sales team adjustments. The ‘Adjusted Forecast Quantity’ field shows the forecast quantity after applying the adjustment percentage for each account product forecast. The ‘Total Adjusted Forecasted Quantity’ field shows the sum of the adjusted forecast quantity for all the account product forecasts in the same account forecast1. These fields are available in the standard report type of ‘Account Forecasts with Product Period Forecast’, so there is no need to create a custom report type. References: What Is Manufacturing Cloud?, Create Holistic Forecasts with Advanced Account Forecasting

If an org hits the account product period forecast record limit, it means that the org has reached the maximum number of records allowed for the Account Product Period Forecast object, which is 9 million1. This limit affects the functionality of account forecasting in the following ways:

New products are not added when recalculating a single account forecast or recalculating all account forecasts. This means that if a new product is added to a sales agreement or a contract after the limit is reached, it will not be reflected in the account forecast, even if the forecast is recalculated manually or automatically. The only way to add new products to the account forecast is to delete some existing records from the Account Product Period Forecast object to free up some space2.

The add products option will no longer appear on the agreement terms tab. This means that users will not be able to add new products to an existing sales agreement or a contract from the agreement terms tab. The only way to add new products to an agreement is to create a new agreement with the new products, or to edit the agreement in the related list of the account forecast2.

A consultant should prepare a template with the requirements and their associated priority, and work with the client to evaluate each item. This is the best way to advance to the next step of the project, because it helps the consultant and the client to align on the scope, objectives, and expectations of the project. It also allows the consultant to understand the client’s business needs, challenges, and opportunities, and to prioritize the requirements based on their value and feasibility. By working collaboratively with the client, the consultant can also build trust and rapport, and ensure that the client is engaged and satisfied with the project outcome. References:
