Held Resource Requests	*	Multiplier applied to the resource request hours on a project, when the Resource Held field is checked.
Label	*	Labels for the billing forecast categories available are Expected, Best Case, Worst Case. Tip: To change a billing forecast category label that is used on the Billing Forecast Detail or Billing Forecast Summary objects, for example “Worst Case”, and have the change visible in reports and object views, you can use Salesforce Translation Workbench. When you have changed the label, you must go to the Billing Forecast Setup tab and save the billing forecast setup details. This creates a new version of the billing forecast setup and ensures that the updated label is displayed on any subsequent billing forecast calculations. Warning: If you are translating a label into more than one language, the label displayed for all users in your org will be the same as the one displayed for the user who performs the billing forecast setup. You must configure at least one billing forecast category. For the Expected billing forecast category, the default multiplier for each project and opportunity forecast factor is 1.0. The Best Case and Worst Case categories default to null. If you do not want to use a billing forecast category, leave the multiplier fields for that category blank.
