Service Excellence Continuing Investments for Planning, Scheduling, and Forecasting
In this update, improvements are available in the following areas:
- Automatic Inclusion of Project Costs and Revenue on Copied Forecast Version: Bring the actual costs into the forecast version without an additional step to refresh costs on a forecast version when the same has been created using a creation method as copy.
