Salesforce AP-205 Dumps Questions Answers

Trade Promotion Management (TPM) is the specific application module designed to handle the promotional calendar, trade spend, and the creation of volume forecasts (baseline and uplift). While Customer Business Planning (CBP) deals with the macro relationship and annual targets, and Trade Promotion Optimization (TPO) focuses on AI/ML optimization of those plans, the core requirement of "managing a promotional calendar" and "creating customer volume forecasts" describes the fundamental capabilities of the TPM application.

=============

The requirement specifically focuses on the allocation of promotion spend1. In the Trade Promotion Management (TPM) architecture, the mechanism for defining, accruing, and distributing budgets to specific customers is the domain of Funds Management2.

WhileStrategic Planningsets high-level targets (e.g., "Grow revenue by 10%"), it is the Funds Management module that operationalizes the financial resources required to achieve those targets. It handles the logic for:

Fund Types:Are budgets Fixed (lump sum) or Rate-Based (accrual from sales)?

Allocation:How is money moved from a Headquarters fund to a specific Customer fund?

Governance:Rules on who can spend what.

Therefore, to "optimize the allocation," the consultant must first analyze the current Funds Management processes (Option C) to understand how budgets are currently constructed and assigned to KAMs.

=============

This question targets the specific technical configuration of the TPM Cockpit (or Home Page/Landing Page) within the Consumer Goods Cloud managed package.

Unlike standard Salesforce Lightning Home Pages which are assembled via drag-and-drop components in the App Builder, the advanced TPM Landing Page—which aggregates complex, specific widgets like "Volume vs Target" graphs, P&L summaries, and approval lists—is traditionally configured using aJSON customization file.

This JSON file defines the structure, the specific "widgets" (cards) to display, their data sources, and layout properties. Once defined, this file is uploaded as aStatic Resourcein Salesforce. The system then references this resource to render the dashboard for the user. This method allows for highly specific, version-controlled configurations that can be assigned to different user profiles or personas (like a KAM vs. a Sales Director). While standard sharing rules (Option C) controldatavisibility, they do not control theUI layout configurationof the TPM Cockpit itself. Therefore, Option B describes the correct implementation step for this specific requirement.
