Changing some forecasting and custom fiscal year settings can delete forecast adjustments, but underlying data isn’t affected. Adjustments are deleted when your admin does any of the following.

- Disables forecasts.
- Disables manager adjustments. Only adjustments made by forecast managers to their subordinates’ and child territory forecasts are deleted.
- Disables owner adjustments. Only adjustments made by forecast users to their own forecasts, including territory forecasts they own, are deleted.
- Changes your forecast period setting from quarterly to monthly or from monthly to quarterly.
- Disables a forecast type. Only adjustments for that forecast type are deleted.
- Changes the start month of your fiscal year when the forecast period is set to quarterly. Quotas and adjustments are deleted.
- Deletes a product family. Quotas and adjustments are deleted for the product family.
- Switches from cumulative forecast rollups to individual forecast category rollups or from individual to cumulative rollups.
- Creates a custom fiscal year for the first time. All adjustments and quotas for the corresponding and following standard fiscal years are deleted.
- Deletes a custom fiscal period or quarter. Forecast adjustments and quotas for that period or quarter are also deleted.

For role-based forecast types, adjustments are also deleted when:

- You’re no longer a forecast manager. Only adjustments that you made to subordinates’ forecasts are deleted.
- You’re removed from a role that’s set as a forecast manager in the forecast hierarchy. Only adjustments that you made to subordinates’ forecasts are deleted.
- You’re deactivated as a user.

Adjusting Best Case and Commit forecasts values is a way to accurately gauge where a sales team is on their path to hitting its sales numbers. An adjustment doesn’t change the underlying gross rollup and doesn’t appear in reports. It just adds a layer of detail to a forecast.")
