Recalculate a Forecast Year
Contents
Recalculating a Scenario with Forecast Years performs the Recalculate Scenario process on the selected Scenario, and then on each Forecast Scenario that is a child of the current Scenario. Before the Recalculate Scenario process is run on each child Forecast Scenario, the Model values are copied from the current Scenario to the Current values of the child. Both Element and Employee values are copied. See the Recalculate Scenario process for details.
