Departments
Export Description
Use the description box on each record to provide extra detail and information. Then when you share the exported reports with others, that detail will be readily available.
Template Creation
There is no need to create the same budget from scratch each time. With our copy forecast, with or without values, you can easily create templates to use again and again and again.
GL Codes Tracking
Keep track of what Forecast 5 record correlates to which GL code with our GL Code tracking box. And you can use the Project and External code boxes for report categories.
