The Forecast Category field in Salesforce classifies each sales opportunity in terms of the salesperson’s confidence in winning the deal in a given period. the Forecast Category on each deal is often determined by the opportunity stage. Opportunity owners can adjust the Forecast Category on each opportunity, based on how likely they think the deal is to close successfully. They can do this without changing the opportunity stage.
