Types

The application uses types to identify and store budgeting and planning data. This list describes the available types for budgeting and planning data:

Actuals: Identifies historical data from other modules, such as AHR and work details, which is used for comparisons on the Worksheet. This set of data is not modified.
Bottom Up: Budget Creation module only. Identifies data generated for a bottom-up projection.
Budget: Identifies data as an imported budget, which is referenced for a top-down forecast or a bottom-up projection. This set of data is not modified by plan generation. The data set is modified only during the solicitation process (Budget Management module only) and during updates from imported files.
Forecast: Identifies data generated for a top-down forecast, used only in the Budget Management module.
