The ForecastingQuota, ForecastingAdjustment, ForecastingOwnerAdjustment, ForecastingItem, and ForecastingFact objects can all have records with different ForecastingTypeId values. Use the ForecastingType object to determine the ID for each forecast type and then filter ForecastingQuota, ForecastingAdjustment, ForecastingItem, or ForecastingFact records as necessary.
