Calculate Forecast Wizard
To calculate forecasts, you must complete the information required on each page of the Calculate Forecast wizard.
This process removes the previous month's forecast, so that the actual costs are not doubled, and respreads the Estimate to Complete over the forecast dates. You must run the Calculate Forecast utility to keep the forecast accurate for each status period. Since statistical forecasts require that actual costs are loaded and that earned value is calculated for the period, forecasting is performed at the end of the status period.
