Spreading Amounts in Revenue Forecasts

When updating the revenue forecasts with planned billing amounts from the project plan and using the range Current Period through Plan End Date, the ETC date of the revenue forecast is used. The ETC date in the Revenue forecast is determined differently than in project planning.

In revenue forecasts, the ETC date is the first day of the period that contains today. In all other Resource Planning applications, the ETC date is the day after the Job-to-Date (JTD) Through date selected in Settings > Resource Planning > Plan Settings (so the dates could be the same at times). For revenue forecasts, when updating the revenue forecast with planned billing amounts, Vantagepoint uses the ETC date of the revenue forecasts to determine the planned billing amount and the date range it will be spread into within the revenue forecast. The amount to spread into the revenue forecast is based on the global revenue forecast settings and the selected range for spreading.
