Absolute Multiple of Another Account

Enter data for one account as an absolute multiple of another account (Associated Account) in the same period. This method is primarily used for price/quantity forecasting. For example, you might forecast unit volume (100 million units) in a Memo Account (v300) and calculate revenue as a unit price of $50 (absolute multiple) times unit volume in the Memo Account (v300).

If you select this option, you must specify the Associated Account, which you select in the Associated Account section of the Forecast Method dialog box.
