FORECAST

Schedule future amount changes

Change a forecast amount from a future effective date while preserving the assumption that applies before it.

4 min read

BEFORE YOU START

Use a future change when the amount changes later.

A future change creates a new amount threshold from the effective date you choose. The earlier forecast amount remains in place before that date.

✓

Keep the current forecast assumption as the base amount

✓

Enter the new amount that should apply later

✓

Choose the date from which the new amount becomes effective

✓

Earlier forecast periods are not rewritten

STEP BY STEP

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Forecast applies the right amount for each future period.

Future amount changes let one forecast assumption evolve over time without replacing the amount that applied before the effective date.

Editing a future change affects that future threshold. It does not rewrite the earlier base amount.
