How to set up subscription targets
- First, activate the Recurring Revenue sales model inside Settings → Account settings

- Head to Settings → CRM → Targets and you 'l now find two new target types: Subscriptions and one-offs.
Differences between subscriptions & one-off products
With the Recurring revenue sales model active, your products will now have new options: Subscription or One-off.
By default your products are set as one-off products. This means placing orders or opportunities with these products will show as one-off values, and count towards any one-off targets.
