About Types of Forecasts

You can perform a number of different types of forecasts. Siebel Forecasting allows you to define summary depth, detail depth, or standard depth forecasts based on the level of information that managers and executives want to see about their subordinates’ revenues in their forecasts. The type of forecast set up determines whether users’ final adjustments must be completed in the Details view or the Summary view in the Forecasts screen. It also determines whether all subordinate line item details are visible to the manager or just the aggregate data. You can also define whether a forecast is a rollup, snapshot, or hybrid forecast.
