How can I remove forecast items from a forecast?

You can click the item in the Forecast Items tab to open the opportunity and make changes.

For any product item with a warning icon, you must change any attributes so that the product item doesn't meet the forecast criteria or so that the forecast item no longer closes within the forecasting period.

A sales manager can drop the item by selecting Remove from the Action menu for the item in the Forecast Items tab. To see your deleted items, choose Dropped Forecast Items from the Show list. You can then add any dropped items back to your forecast by clicking the Add icon for the item.

You can also use a forecast override if the administrator enabled it for your territory. You can set the Forecast Option to Never to override the matching forecast criteria. An icon warns you when a product item matches the forecast criteria and requires the forecast override.

If you're unable to either change the forecast criteria for the item or use the override, the item disappears from your forecast items list, but the forecast amounts remain the same. But, the item now has negative adjustment amounts to match the forecast amounts. For example, if the forecast amount is 3,000, then the forecast adjustment is negative 3,000 and the adjusted forecast is 0. With the removed forecast item selected, you can add it back in if you want to include the item back in the forecast.
