Process

Create Forecast

Select a value from UDC table 51/FR to specify how the system creates the forecast spread. Values are:

1: The system uses the forecast spread amounts from the F5111 table by job and version to create the forecast.

When you access the Forecast Detail form, the system subtracts the amounts in the Forecast Amount fields from the current values in the Estimate at Completion fields and populates the Amount to Allocate fields with the new value. You can use this processing option in order to re-use the manual spread from month to month so that you do not have to create a new manual spread from the automatic spread for each month.

Blank: The system creates the forecast spread automatically.

Cost Code - From

Specify the beginning cost code for costs in a range that the system uses to create the forecast workfile.

Cost Code - Thru

Specify the ending cost code for costs in a range that the system uses to create the forecast workfile.

Revenue Cost Code - From

Specify the beginning cost code for revenue in a range that the system uses to create the forecast workfile.

Revenue Cost Code - Thru

Specify the ending cost code for revenue in a range that the system uses to create the forecast workfile.

Source for Calendar

Specify the source that the system uses to search for a calendar to spread forecast amounts.

Blank: The system uses the 365 days calendar.

1: If the workday calendar for the job is available, the system uses the workday calendar for the job. If the workday calendar for the job is not available, the system uses the calendar for the business unit that you enter in the Default Business Unit for Calendar processing option. If the system does not find a business unit entered in the Default Business Unit for Calendar processing option or if a calendar is not associated with the default business unit, the system uses the 365 days calendar.

2: The system uses the calendar for the business unit that you enter in the Default Business Unit for Calendar processing option. If the system does not find a business unit entered in the Default Business Unit for Calendar processing option or if a calendar is not associated with the default business unit, the system uses the 365 days calendar.

Default Business Unit for Calendar

Enter the business unit associated with a workday calendar that the system uses as default calendar to spread forecast amounts.
