## Key Concepts

### Forecasting Types
| Type | Source Field | Description |
|------|--------------|-------------|
| **Opportunity Revenue** | Amount | Standard opportunity forecasting |
| **Opportunity Quantity** | Quantity | Unit-based forecasting |
| **Product Family** | Product2.Family | By product category |
| **Opportunity Splits** | Split Amount | Team selling |
| **Custom Measure** | Custom field | Custom currency/number |

### Forecast Categories
| Category | Stage Mapping |
|----------|---------------|
| Pipeline | Early stages |
| Best Case | High probability |
| Commit | Committed deals |
| Closed | Won deals |
| Omitted | Excluded from forecast |

### Forecast Rollup Hierarchy
```
CEO
 └── VP Sales
      ├── Regional Manager 1
      │    ├── Sales Rep A
      │    └── Sales Rep B
      └── Regional Manager 2
           └── Sales Rep C
```

Forecasts roll up through **Role Hierarchy** or **Forecast Hierarchy**.

## Simplified Version (Core Objects Only)

For presentations focusing on core forecast flow:

```mermaid
%%{init: {"flowchart": {"nodeSpacing": 50, "rankSpacing": 80}} }%%
flowchart LR
    User["User"]
    Opportunity["Opportunity"]
    FItem["ForecastingItem"]
    FQuota["ForecastingQuota"]

    User -->|"owns"| Opportunity
    Opportunity -->|"contributes"| FItem
    User -->|"has"| FQuota
    User -->|"owns"| FItem

    style User fill:#bae6fd,stroke:#0369a1,color:#1f2937
    style Opportunity fill:#bae6fd,stroke:#0369a1,color:#1f2937
    style FItem fill:#bae6fd,stroke:#0369a1,color:#1f2937
    style FQuota fill:#bae6fd,stroke:#0369a1,color:#1f2937
```

## Opportunity Splits Model

For team selling with revenue splits:

```mermaid
%%{init: {"flowchart": {"nodeSpacing": 50, "rankSpacing": 80}} }%%
flowchart LR
    Opportunity["Opportunity<br/>($100K)"]
    Split1["OpportunitySplit<br/>(Rep A: 60%)"]
    Split2["OpportunitySplit<br/>(Rep B: 40%)"]
    FItem1["ForecastingItem<br/>(Rep A: $60K)"]
    FItem2["ForecastingItem<br/>(Rep B: $40K)"]

    Opportunity ==>|"MD"| Split1
    Opportunity ==>|"MD"| Split2
    Split1 -->|"contributes"| FItem1
    Split2 -->|"contributes"| FItem2

    style Opportunity fill:#bae6fd,stroke:#0369a1,color:#1f2937
    style Split1 fill:#bae6fd,stroke:#0369a1,color:#1f2937
    style Split2 fill:#bae6fd,stroke:#0369a1,color:#1f2937
    style FItem1 fill:#bae6fd,stroke:#0369a1,color:#1f2937
    style FItem2 fill:#bae6fd,stroke:#0369a1,color:#1f2937
```

## Limits & Considerations

| Limit | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Forecasting types | 4 (standard) + 4 (custom) |
| Forecast hierarchy levels | Role hierarchy depth |
| Splits per opportunity | Unlimited |
| Quota periods | Fiscal periods |
| Adjustment history | 12 months |

---

## Forecast Hierarchy vs Role Hierarchy

| Option | Use Case |
|--------|----------|
| **Role Hierarchy** | Forecasts follow org chart |
| **Forecast Hierarchy** | Custom forecast rollup path |
| **Territory Hierarchy** | Territory-based forecasting |

## Best Practices

1. **Use `flowchart LR`** - Left-to-right flow for readability
2. **Keep objects simple** - Name + record count only
3. **Replace `(count)` placeholders** - With actual counts from query
4. **Add LDV indicator** - For objects >2M records: `LDV[~4M]`
5. **Color code object types** - Blue=Standard, Orange=Custom, Green=External
