Order structure
Think about the model
Your basic revenue is not driven by product units multiplied by product prices.
Your inventory or sales recognition requires significantly different operating schedules.
The logic of costs, production, financing or capacity requires a different computational structure.
Your reporting requirements require results that go beyond the validated workbook architecture.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
