After creating your trading programs and corresponding program lines for a given trading partner, it is possible to analyze a trading programs' earnings by week.
Simply click on Trading programs at the top of your page and then on Trading Partner (e.g. suppliers) in the drop-down menu. This will take you to a page containing a list of your trading partners.
Selecting a trading partner from this list will trigger a display panel to appear from the right of your screen. This panel contains a list of trading programs that have been created for your selected trading partner.
Select a trading program from this list and then click the View button. You will notice that there is an Analysis tab available to you near the top of the page.
Click on this tab and you will be taken to a new page where you will be able to analyze the trading program created for your chosen trading partner (see screenshot provided below).
Please note — This will be available to all users who have view and / or edit access to the program lines page for the selected trading partner.
This page shows a graph of the total earnings for the selected trading program by week, where you can choose up to two additional trading programs to compare with.
Clicking on the Analyze trading program button in the top right-hand corner of the page will take you to a pre-filtered version of the program line earnings report that applies to the trading program as a whole.

The risk amount is related to the risk margin, and is essentially the amount of earnings that would be lost if the forecasted target band is missed. It is calculated as A - (B x C) where:
The reward amount is related to the reward margin, and is the amount of earnings that would be gained if the band above the forecasted target band is reached. This is calculated as (A x B) - C where:
