You can manually generate a forecast when an organization requires a forecast immediately. You can only generate a manual forecast for any future week-long period, and the system uses the current fixed period of data.
For example, an organization with a Monday-to-Sunday business week is configured to generate a forecast for the upcoming week every Thursday and requires a manager to approve the forecast. If the manager is out of the office and unavailable to approve the forecast, an authorized user can manually generate a forecast for the following week.
