Understanding Account and Basis Amount Revisions

After you define the accounts and retrieve the basis amounts for your revenue and expense accounts, you can use the Revise Forecast Basis program to:

• Add or change basis amounts for periods by account.

• Spread an amount over an account using a budget pattern code.

  If you have budget pattern codes set up, you can assign the code and an override amount and the system spreads the override amount to the amount field for each period, according to the percentages defined for the budget pattern code.

• Assign override growth pattern codes to individual accounts.

• Lock records.

  The Generate Forecast Results program forecasts amounts for locked records only. The Lock Account flag (LOCKFLG) must equal 1 in the F1403 table.
