Can I add source quantity and amount columns on the Edit Budget and Edit Forecast pages?
Yes. Use the Personalize Layout option from the Layout drop-down list on the Edit Budget or Edit Forecast page to add and view the following source quantity and amount columns on these pages.
- Source Quantity
- Source Raw Cost
- Source Burdened Cost
- Source Revenue
You can then review and do a side by side comparison of the source with the current plan to check the deviation; thereby easily managing the budgeting and forecasting information on the budget and forecast lines respectively. For example, add the columns to quickly compare the source for a forecast with the ETC, thus making it easier to spot variance and make more informed changes.
Some points to consider:
- Source quantity and amounts columns are available when you create a budget or
forecast version using any of the following methods:
- Generate budget or forecast version
- Copy budget or forecast version
- Source quantity and amounts are available for budget lines or forecast lines, they aren't available for periodic information.
- You can also add the Invoiced Amounts column using the Personalize Layout option. The Invoiced Amounts column is only available for a forecast version and when the planning isn’t a cost only version.
