Salesforce Lead-to-Cash


Introduction

With the Salesforce Lead-to-Cash app template you can load raw input data from Salesforce Sales Cloud with the CPQ and Billing package, extracted to either Snowflake or SQl Server using CData Sync. The raw input data is transformed through a series of transformations that take place via dbt (data build tool) and produce the required input data used in Process Mining process apps.

Lead-to-Cash process

The Lead-to-Cash process is an end to end process which starts with a potential customer's intent to buy a product. After a sales rep finalizes a quote and orders it within Salesforce CPQ, Salesforce Billing picks up the order record for invoicing and payment.

Lead Qualification

Once a lead is generated, the lead will go through a qualification process. The objective of this process is to determine whether the lead is most likely to make an actual purchase. Once the lead is qualified this will turn into an actual opportunity for a sale. In Salesforce, this is tracked via the Lead object.

Opportunity Management

As a lead qualifies into an opportunity, the sales team will work on the opportunity together with the potential customer, in order to identify the need and suggest an appropriate product or service which will meet this need. In case the opportunity is won, this will generate one or more orders in order to fulfill the won opportunity. In Salesforce, this is tracked via the Opportunity object, and the Quote object.

Quote Management Once an opportunity moves forward with a customer, products and services will be offered through quotes. In Salesforce CPQ the Quote object contains information about the products and services a customer wants to buy. You can create as many quotes as you want on a given opportunity. However, many quotes your opportunity contains, only one can be designated as primary.

Order Management

Within Order management, the order lifecycle is maintained, including order capture, and fulfillment. In Salesforce, the Order object is used to maintain this process. One quote may have multiple orders if the configuration is set in CPQ package.

Contract Management

Contracts are used when orders included at least one subscription product under a contract-based renewal model. Salesforce CPQ creates a contract record for them.

Invoice Management

The billing process begins when you invoice your order. When this action occurs, Salesforce Billing creates an Invoice record that contains invoice lines for each of your products from the Order. The invoice balance could be managed through credit and debit notes.

Payment Management

The collection of payments is possible once the invoices are posted. Salesforce Billing lets you collect and allocate payments to invoice lines.

Tags

Tag Description
Approval process started multiple times Multiple approvals may exist for one entity, however if the same approval process is triggered multiple times, there might be inefficiencies to review. Applies for all entities (Lead, Opportunity, Quote, Order, Contract).
Multiple Owner Changes Applies for all entities (Lead, Opportunity, Quote, Order, Contract), reflects that the owner of that entity has been changed multiple times and that may be justified (vacations, escalations) or may require attention.
Primary quote changed multiple times The primary quote in an opportunity is the one that can turn into an order. There might be inefficiencies to review if these changes happen constantly.
Credit Notes allocated to Invoices Processes that involve Credit Notes could potentially mean that errors were committed during the invoicing or order generation. It can also be part of the normal operation of the company as it may be related to rebates, write-offs or any other type of discount.
Debit Notes allocated to Invoices Processes that involve Debit Notes usually mean that a mistake was made during the invoicing or order generation. This type of activities should be reviewed and check to whether they should be happening.
Credit and Debit Notes allocated to each other When a Credit Note is allocated against a Debit Note (or the other way around) it means that they are cancelling each other. This procedure should only happen when mistakes were made and further analysis may be required to avoid them.
Unpaid Order Items This tag lists all cases where Invoices were not fully paid and that they are overdue.
Top 20% unpaid Order Items by Amount This tag is similar to 'Unpaid Order Item' but it is only selecting the top 20% by Amount of those cases
Top 20% unpaid Order Items by Days Past Due This tag is similar to 'Unpaid Order Item' but it is only selecting the top 20% by days past due of those cases
Cases with unallocations Applies to all those cases where any type of unallocation has happened. Unallocations are a good marker for activities that do not add any value and are probably happening as a result of a mistake made.

Due Dates

Due date Description
Invoice Line Payment This value compares the due date of an Invoice Line and the date when the payment was received.

Salesforce Sales Cloud configuration

Source system

Salesforce Sales Cloud with Salesforce CPQ and Billing package installed in the Salesforce Org. Salesforce CPQ managed package simplifies configuration and ensures pricing and quoting accuracy. Salesforce Billing is an add-on package that inherits key records and information from Salesforce CPQ and lets you invoice an order and manage its balances through payments, credit and debit notes.

Depending on which fields have field history tracked, different change events will be recorded. Field history tracking can be configured from each object within Salesforce setup. Recommended minimal setup is having the following object and fields tracked:

By default, Field History is disabled per object. In order to setup Field History Tracking for an object, the following Salesforce manual contains a step by step instruction: Salesforce - Track Field History for Standard Objects. Note: if a field is activated for tracking, the values will be tracked from that moment onwards. Any changes before that point in time will not be saved. As of February 2022, Salesforce retains field history data for up to 18 months through the org and up to 24 months via the API, and Field history tracking data doesn't count towards Salesforce org's data storage limits.

In case the history needs to be stored for a longer period of time, Field Audit Trail must be activated. This allows copying of history data into a separate big data object and allows storage for up to 10 years.

Environmental settings

System specific settings

The Salesforce Lead-to-Cash app template works on the process starting on the marketing campaign generation, up to the generation of customer orders. If the order includes subscription products the process adds contract to track the subscriptions.

The following additional objects which are used to add additional attribute information into the model:

In case they are used, the following tables add Currency conversion to the model:

*CurrencyType, DatedExchangeRate objects are by default disabled in Salesforce orgs.


Configuring CData Sync for Salesforce Sales Cloud

Below is a description on how to use CData Sync to set up a source connection and load data into a Process Mining Salesforce Lead-to-Cash process app.

In general, you should follow the steps as described in Loading data using CData Sync (Snowflake) or Loading data using CData Sync (SQL Server) to set up data loading using CData Sync. Since specific settings are required when using Salesforce Lead-to-Cash, pay attention to the steps described below.

Setting up the source connection

Creating the extraction job

Define the following settings in the Replicate Options section in the Advanced tab in the Job Settings panel.

Setting up environment variables in the extraction job

Important: Make sure you edit the Pre-job Event.

CData Sync allows the use of environment variables in order to drive specific extraction logic in each query.

Variable Description Comment
start_extraction_date Defines first date for which data will be extracted. Mandatory
end_extraction_date Last date for which data will be extracted.

In order to setup the environment variables:

Step Action
1 Access the job created in the previous step.
2 Click on the Events tab.
3 Add the following lines to the Pre-Job Event script.
<!-- Modify environment variables here. --> <!-- Variable start_extraction_date must be populated.--> <api:set attr="out.env:start_extraction_date" value="2022-01-01" /> <!-- In case a specific end date is needed, replace the value string with the required date in yyyy-MM-dd format. --> <!-- i.e api:set attr="out.env:end_extraction_date" value="2022-02-01" --> <api:set attr="out.env:end_extraction_date" value="[null | now() | todate('yyyy-MM-dd')]" /> <api:push item="out" />

Important: Do not modify the api:info details that are shown by default.

In order to modify the environment variables, modify the values within the Events tab. By default, end_extraction_date will default to today's date. start_extraction_date must always be populated.

Table Replication

Once the job is correctly setup, click on Add Custom Query under the Tables tab and paste the following queries (each query needs to maintain the semicolon at the end). Make sure you save all changes.

Default Extraction The following script is prepared for scenarios where Currency Conversions and Person Accounts are not used and are disabled. In case any of these are used, please add the scripts in the Alternative Scenarios section.

Note regarding CData Salesforce Provider Version 21.0.8097.0 When a table has an _Incremental Check Column_ field predefined in CData Sync, the SQL query cannot use the same date field in both statements (WITH and WHERE) at the same time. If version 21.0.8097.0 (or an older version) of CData is used, the date filtering should be done in the WHERE clause and should be removed from the WITH statement.

Alternative Scenarios

The following scenarios can be used in combination of each other:

Multi Currency and Dated Conversion Rates are enabled in Salesforce Org

In case multi currency is used in the Salesforce org, add the following queries:

REPLICATE [CurrencyType_raw] SELECT [Id], [IsCorporate], [IsoCode] FROM [CurrencyType] WHERE [IsCorporate] = 1; REPLICATE [DatedConversionRate_raw] SELECT [Id], [IsoCode], [NextStartDate], [StartDate], [ConversionRate] FROM [DatedConversionRate];

Additionally, the Payment Allocation Debit Note Line, Payment Allocation Invoice Line and Order Item query must be changed to the following to add the CurrencyIsoCode field in the query.

REPLICATE [blng__PaymentAllocationDebitNoteLine__c_raw] WITH ReplicateStartDate = '{env:start_extraction_date}', replicateenddate = '{env:end_extraction_date}' SELECT [Id], [blng__Amount__c], [CreatedById], [CreatedDate], [CurrencyIsoCode], [blng__DebitNoteLine__c], [blng__Payment__c], [blng__Type__c] FROM [blng__PaymentAllocationDebitNoteLine__c]; REPLICATE [blng__PaymentAllocationInvoiceLine__c_raw] WITH ReplicateStartDate = '{env:start_extraction_date}', replicateenddate = '{env:end_extraction_date}' SELECT [Id], [blng__Amount__c], [CreatedById], [CreatedDate], [CurrencyIsoCode], [blng__InvoiceLine__c], [blng__Payment__c], [blng__Type__c], [blng__Unallocated__c] FROM [blng__PaymentAllocationInvoiceLine__c]; REPLICATE [OrderItem_raw] SELECT [Id], [SBQQ__BillingFrequency__c], [SBQQ__ChargeType__c], [SBQQ__Contract__c], [CreatedById], [CreatedDate], [CurrencyIsoCode], [OrderId], [OrderItemNumber], [SBQQ__Status__c], [Product2Id], [Quantity], [SBQQ__SubscriptionTerm__c], [SBQQ__DefaultSubscriptionTerm__c], [TotalPrice] FROM [OrderItem] WHERE ([CreatedDate] >= '{env:start_extraction_date}') AND ([CreatedDate] <= '{env:end_extraction_date}');

Person Accounts enabled in Salesforce Org

In Case Person Accounts (field IsPersonAccount) are used - replace the Accounts query with the following query. This query will add the field IsPersonAccount in the Accounts extraction.

REPLICATE [Account_raw] SELECT [Id], [AccountSource], [BillingState], [BillingCountry], [CreatedById], [CreatedDate], [Industry], [IsPersonAccount], [Name], [OwnerId], [Ownership], [ParentId], [Rating], [Type] FROM [Account];

Record Types are enabled in Salesforce Org

In case Record Types are used the Order query must be amended to add the RecordTypeId field in the query. The following replicate shows Order with RecordTypeId value added.

REPLICATE [Order_raw] SELECT [Id], [AccountId], [CreatedById], [CreatedDate], [Name], [OpportunityId], [OrderNumber], [Type], [OwnerId], [SBQQ__PaymentTerm__C], [SBQQ__Quote__c], [RecordTypeId], [ShippingCountry], [ShippingState] FROM [Order] WHERE ([CreatedDate] >= '{env:start_extraction_date}') AND ([CreatedDate] <= '{env:end_extraction_date}');

Customizing the transformations

Configuration

Automated Users

In order to add data which will be defined by the end user, one additional file is loaded into the model which need to be prepared by the Analyst. This is the Automated_users_raw file, which contains the users that are flagged as automated. If this is not configured, the connector will still work properly but it will not have that extra information.

Amount of events

All contracts that get amended will generate automatically a new Opportunity_id that will be linked to the former. Therefore, all activities happening to the contract will be included in both case_id's: the original opportunity and the amended one. That can be seen when comparing the total amount of records in Events_all table vs Event_log_base table, thus it will be correct to have more records in the Event_log_base table.

Dbt variables

Below is an overview of the variables that must be configured based on the Salesforce configuration for the end customer. These variables are defined in the dbt_project.yml file.

Variable Type Description
conversion_rate_start_date string Specifies the starting date for currency conversions, when there are no prior historic exchange rates. This replaces the null value that is used in Salesforce.
use_is_person_account boolean Defines whether the IsPersonAccount attribute will be used. This should be disabled in Salesforce Orgs where there are no Person Accounts. Setting this to true will enable the attribute to being queried in the transformations, and will enable associated tests. Default is false.
use_currency_conversion boolean Defines whether the multi currency conversion will be used. This should be disabled in Salesforce Orgs where multi currency is not used. Setting this to true will enable currency conversion. Default is false.
use_record_types boolean Defines whether the record type conversions will be used. This should be disabled in Salesforce Orgs where record types are not used. Setting this to true will enable record types to be queried and added to the transformations. Default is false.

Limitations

CDATA Sync - Salesforce Connector Regarding CData Salesforce Provider Version 21.0.8097.0 When a table has an Incremental Check Column field predefined in CData, the SQL query cannot have both statements (WITH and WHERE) at the same time. If this is the version of CData that is being used, please remove the entire WHERE statement so the date filter done in the WITH statement works properly.

No Event Start

Salesforce does not store the start time for each change activity.

No flag to identify automated users

Salesforce does not have a field or special license for automated users. It does however have a default user named Automated Process which is used for automated processing for Salesforce changes, however any additional users such as interfaces or RPA will use normal licenses and are not differentiated by user type.

Salesforce Retention Policy

As of February 2022, Salesforce retains field history data for up to 18 months through the org and up to 24 months via the API.

In case the history needs to be stored for a longer period of time, Field Audit Trail must be activated. This allows copying of history data into a separate big data object and allows storage for up to 10 years. However, the connector needs to be adapted to use these new objects.

Troubleshooting

General

Field not available in object during data extraction

Check Field Level Security in order to confirm the field is available and visible for the user profile extracting data. For CurrencyISOCode, IsPersonAccount, LastStageChangeDate, RecordTypeId check the specific issues in the following section.

Object not available during data extraction

The user profile might not have read access to the object. This can be corrected on the user profile or a different user should extract the data. For Order, Quote, CurrencyType, DatedConversionRate check the specific issues in the following section.

Object Specific

Campaign and CampaignMember objects not available

Check the user record for the user extracting data, and verify the Marketing User checkbox is Active.

CurrencyIsoCode is not available when extracting data from either OrderItem, PaymentAllocationDebitNoteLine, PaymentAllocationInvoiceLine objects

Multi-currency is not enabled within the Salesforce org. In case this happens, the conversions should be removed from the data model. This can be achieved by adjusting the variable use_currency_conversion in the dbt_project.yml to false.

CurrencyType object is not available when extracting data

Multi-currency is not enabled within the Salesforce org. In case this happens, the conversions should be removed from the data model. This can be achieved by adjusting the variable use_currency_conversion in the dbt_project.yml to false.

DatedConversionRate object is not available when extracting data

Effective currency rate management is not enabled within the Salesforce org. In case this happens, the conversions should be removed from the data model. This can be achieved by adjusting the variable use_currency_conversion in the dbt_project.yml to false.

IsPersonAccount field not available in Account object when extracting from Salesforce

When extracting data from Salesforce, IsPersonAccount may not be available as the organization may not have B2C customers. In case this happens, the field should be removed from the data model. This can be achieved by adjusting the variable use_is_person_account in the dbt_project.yml to false.

RecordTypeId is not available when extracting data from the Order object

Record Types are not used within the Salesforce org. In case this happens, the conversions should be removed from the data model. This can be achieved by adjusting the variable use_record_types in the dbt_project.yml to false.
