Copy From Project Forecast
Explanation
This activity is used to copy forecast lines from a project budget/forecast
version into a new project cash forecast.
The New Project Cash
Forecast assistant is used to create a new cash forecast, and there
is an option to copy from an existing project forecast version.
The forecast lines with details (sub project, activity, cost/revenue element
and dates) will be copied over to the new cash forecast. The EAC
value from the project forecast lines will be copied to the Total Amount
column on the new cash forecast lines. The period spread values will not be
copied.
- If the project is set up to use multi-currency budgeting and forecasting
and multi-currency cash forecasting, EAC in Transaction Currency
will be copied to the Total Amount along with the currency
from the project forecast line.
- If the project is set up to use multi-currency budgeting and forecasting
but single currency cash forecasting, EAC in Base Curr BF Rate
will be copied and the currency set to the accounting currency of the company.
- If the project is set up for single currency budgeting and forecasting,
EAC (in base currency) will be copied, independent of the
multi-currency setting for cash forecasting.
Project forecast lines with a CBS node instead of a cost/revenue element
will not be copied.
Prerequisites
- A cash forecast type must be created.
- A project budget/forecast with lines with cost/revenue elements.
System Effects
Forecast lines from the selected budget/forecast to copy from are inserted
into the destination cash forecast.
