On May 11th, the Zuora Community hosted a Revenue Workshop on Booking Forecast with @Nikki Wong, Senior Director of Product Management where she walked through the steps to setup, generate, and report your booking forecast.
Before diving into the main topic, Nikki shared a Revenue Tool Tip on how to prepare for an external audit in Zuora Revenue using commonly-used reports:
