Universal Containers does not want to bring actual orders data into Salesforce, but still wants to use the actual orders data to analyze the effectiveness of their sales agreements, they must select the Manually Using actual orders API option in the sales agreement setup. This option allows them to use an API to upload actual order data from an external system into Salesforce and associate it with the sales agreements. This way, they can compare the planned and actual quantities and revenues of each product or product category in the sales agreement. The other options require either creating orders in Salesforce or linking contracts to orders in Salesforce, which Universal Containers does not want to do.
