Note

There’s a newer version of forecasting available called Advanced Account Forecasting. To learn about how the features are different, review this [comparison](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.aaf_admin_comparison_pictoral_concept.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Compare Account Forecasting and Advanced Account Forecasting to make an informed decision about the feature you want to use for account forecast calculations in your org. We recommend that you enable only one of these features in your org based on your decision."). For new implementations, use [Advanced Account Forecasting](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.aaf_admin_parent_concept.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Generate comprehensive, multi-horizon forecasts for sales, operations, inventory, service, and other aspects of your business. Tailor your forecasting configurations to your objectives to generate accurate, relevant forecasts. Generate forecasts based on the data sources of your choice, such as opportunities, orders, and sales agreements, and define sophisticated calculation logic. Help different teams collaborate on forecasts and fine-tune forecasts."). For existing implementations, plan your [migration](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.aaf_admin_migrate_af.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can use Advanced Account Forecasting to generate forecasts based on opportunities, orders, sales agreements, historical orders, and any other custom measures considering all aspects of business from Salesforce and beyond. If you’re an existing customer using Account Forecasting, follow these steps to migrate to Advanced Account Forecasting.").
