Synchronizing Catering Forecast Revenue

Prerequisites for Synchronizing Catering Forecast Revenue

Use this utility to update forecast revenues on existing events with the updated forecast numbers that have already been configured for event types. The following are specific rules to be aware of when running this utility:

• The utility will not update Catering Package Events.

• The utility will not update revenue types with expected revenue unless the Use Forecast Revenue Only option is selected on the event details tab.

• If the new forecast revenue for an event type does not contain forecast figures for a specific revenue type, the forecast figures will be blanked out in any updated event with that revenue type.

• If the new forecast revenue for an event type contains forecast figures for revenue types that do not exist on the existing events, these forecast elements will be added to the updated event.

• For existing forecast records, the figures will be updated with the new figures that have been set for the appropriate date range per event type and revenue type.
