Salesforce is an excellent system. However it does not support all of your company’s functions. You are perhaps using an ERP system (for example Microsoft Dynamics) in parallel to Salesforce to take care of your accounting, your inventory or your fulfilment. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to bring this information into Salesforce, to get everyting at one place?
Think about it. Having access to this data brings additional value to your organization. Users are more motivated to work with their Salesforce system as it contains all the information they need. The use of Salesforce should not be limited to keying in information and tracking activities.

How does it work?
Function-wise, the Sales History App Extension for Salesforce displays ERP data (such as Sales History, Sales Orders, Payments, etc.) from your ERP in Salesforce and makes it available for advanced reporting.
The good part about the Sales History App Extension is that it is an unmanaged application that can be customized according to your needs. By default, the Sales History information is linked to the Account in Salesforce but it can be linked to other relevant objects instead, for example, to an Opportunity.
You can see the type of information you are getting access to in the picture below:
In this example, the financial information is calculated in Roll Up Summary Fields based on the transactional information transferred from ERP. These are calculated fields so you can create new fields or modify existing ones to match your needs.
