What effect does adjusting the forecast formula to reflect Opportunity Probability have?

Adjusting the forecast formula to incorporate Opportunity Probability means that the underlying calculations for the forecasts need to be updated to reflect the new parameters. This adjustment typically requires a recalculation of all active forecasts because the change affects how future values are predicted based on current data.

When Opportunity Probability is included in the forecast, it alters the expected outcome for sales, which in turn impacts all forecasts that rely on the data derived from opportunities. Therefore, recalculating all active forecasts ensures that they align with the new logic introduced through this adjustment.

Other options, such as instant recalculation or regenerating all forecasts, suggest immediate effects that do not consider the actual process involved in updating the data. The nature of forecasting systems often requires that calculations reflect the latest changes before presenting updated forecasts. Hence, it is critical to perform a comprehensive recalculation to ensure accuracy.
