If you adjust one component, any components with a linked relationship will also update; for example, if Net Sales and Discounts have a 1-to-1 relationship, meaning that whatever amount/percentage Net Sales is adjusted, Discounts will be adjusted by the same, then, when you enter a 15 percent adjustment for Net Sales, Discounts will also be adjusted by 15 percent. This relationship is established in Forecast Profiles. If there is no relationship(s), then only the one forecast component will update. |
