Forecast Protection and Submission

A forecast status is either Pending or Submitted. A forecast is first created in Pending status. Any user with permission to add or update a forecast can protect the forecast in this status and continue to make modifications. A protected forecast is not automatically overwritten by the forecast prepopulation process.

When you submit a forecast, the status changes to Submitted. Only the project manager and administrator can approve forecasts and modify forecasts that are in a Submitted status. The supervisor and administrator can unsubmit a forecast and modify it until the next forecast collection period begins.
