Differences Between Forecasting in LFSO and Plan Generation

LFSO generates forecasts that it uses to create schedules. The budgeting modules generate forecasts that they use to create plans of labor costs. The data forecasted by LFSO may not always be the same as the data calculated by the budgeting modules, even if they both use the same forecast method, because:

They treat missing actuals differently. See Treating Missing Actuals Differently.

They may use different driver distributions. See Using Different Driver Distributions (Budget Creation module only).
