Disabling certain functionality can result in purged quota and adjustment data, so consider exporting your data before disabling anything. When you complete your setting changes, you can import the data back into Salesforce. Exceptions:
- If you change your time period from monthly to quarterly or from quarterly to monthly, you can’t import your quota or adjustments data back into Salesforce. The existing values don’t align with your new periods.
- If you’ve enabled territory forecasts and you change any territory data, you can’t import your quota or adjustments data back into Salesforce. The existing values don’t align with the new territory data.
