# Capturing Pipeline Forecasts at a Point in Time

Forecast submissions are your best estimate of the revenue or quantities that you expect to close during the forecast period. Typically required weekly, the submission takes a snapshot of your forecast at the time you make the submission. As management levels review forecast rollups, they compare the current forecast against the submitted forecast numbers and quota, and know that the forecast is up to date. Any differences better inform the forecast for the entire sales team and the business.
