The Project/Dept Financial Forecast page

The Project/Dept Financial Forecast page has three tabs:

• The Project/Dept Financial Forecast - By Contract - Displays financial values for all contracts in the project/dept, with financial values shown for each contract in the contract's base currency.

• The Project/Dept Financial Forecast - Roll Up to Contract Base Currency - Displays total values for all contract base currencies used in the project/dept. You can change the exchange rates used and recalculate the values.

• The Project/Dept Financial Forecast - Transactions in Original Currency - Displays total values for all communications in the project/dept, rolled up to the project/dept base currency or to one of the currencies used as contract base currencies.

  Note The Project/Dept Financial Forecast only displays financial details of contracts to which you have confidential access.

To view the Project/Dept Financial Forecast page:

1. Navigate to the Project/Dept Summary page for the project you want to work on.

2. Click and select Financial Forecast from the menu.

   The Financial Forecast page is displayed, showing the By Contract tab.

   Tip The Financial Forecast menu option is only available if the project/dept contains at least one contract.

   Note The values shown may not exactly reflect those calculated elsewhere using a single exchange rate for all contracts and communications, for the following reasons:

   • Contracts may have different currency exchange rates for the same currency, as defined in the Contract Configurations.

   • For communications in a multi-currency contract, which do not use the contract base currency, the exchange rates used for the communications are 'frozen' when they are updated from the Draft state, i.e. the system uses the currency exchange rate that was in effect at the time the communication was issued.
