ForecastingItemCategory	Type picklist Properties Create, Filter, Group, Sort Description This field indicates which type of forecast rollup the manager adjustment belongs to. Depending on whether your organization uses individual forecast category rollups or cumulative forecast rollups, you have these possible values for the ForecastingItemCategory field. Individual forecast category rollups: PipelineOnly - Rollup from Pipeline opportunities only. BestCaseOnly - Rollup from Best Case opportunities only. Adjustable. MostLikelyOnly - Rollup from Most Likely opportunities only. Adjustable. CommitOnly - Rollup from Commit opportunities only. Adjustable. Cumulative forecast rollups: OpenPipeline - Rollup from Pipeline + Best Case + Most Likely + Commit opportunities. BestCaseForecast - Rollup from Best Case + Most Likely + Commit + Closed opportunities. Adjustable. MostLikelyForecast - Rollup from Most Likely + Commit + Closed opportunities. Adjustable. CommitForecast - Rollup from Commit + Closed opportunities. Adjustable. Either cumulative or individual forecast category rollups: ClosedOnly - Rollup from Closed opportunities only. The ForecastingItemCategory field differs from the ForecastCategoryName field. The ForecastCategoryName field represents the forecast category of the underlying opportunities rolling up to forecast amounts. In organizations using cumulative forecast rollups, the ForecastCategoryName field can be null because the cumulative forecast amounts include opportunities from multiple forecast categories. The new ForecastingItemCategory field represents the type of rollup a forecast amount or adjustment is from. In organizations using individual forecast category columns, it contains the individual forecast rollup categories. In organizations using cumulative forecast rollups, it contains the cumulative rollup categories. When inserting manager adjustments, the values you insert for ForecastCategoryName and ForecastingItemCategory must be compatible with each other. In organizations using cumulative forecast rollups, the ForecastCategoryName is nillable. The following pairs are valid. Individual forecast category rollups: ForecastCategoryName: BestCase, ForecastingItemCategory: BestCaseOnly ForecastCategoryName: MostLikely, ForecastingItemCategory: MostLikelyOnly ForecastCategoryName: Commit, ForecastingItemCategory: CommitOnly Cumulative forecast category rollups: ForecastCategoryName: null, ForecastingItemCategory: BestCaseForecast ForecastCategoryName: null, ForecastingItemCategory: MostLikelyForecast ForecastCategoryName: null, ForecastingItemCategory: CommitForecast

Usage

Use this object to obtain a manager’s adjustment detail for a specified ForecastingItem. The ForecastingAdjustment object is visible to all users, but only forecast managers and users above them in the forecast hierarchy can read or write ForecastingAdjustment records.

Beginning with API version 30.0, organizations can have more than one forecasting type enabled. 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.
