Forecast Period Default Date Screen

Flag automatically supplied close dates before treating them as buyer-backed forecast timing. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Deal create date/source, close date, account default settings, date history and documented buyer timing.

How it works

1. Identify whether the date was supplied by a buyer or may come from a creation default.
2. Keep desktop custom-default behavior separate from other creation paths.
3. Group records with default-date evidence without moving them to another forecast period.
4. Return timing confidence and missing source evidence; no close-date edit.

The output

deal | creation_path | close_date | default_evidence | buyer_timing | forecast_timing_hold

Worked fictional example

Fictional open deal createdOct 10 with no buyer timing and close dateOct 31. A last-day default can explain the field, not prove the buyer will signOct 31. Unknown creation path remains unknown.
