Here you enter the number of periods ahead in time that you wish the current forecast to include. Forecasts cannot be created for a longer period of time than to the end of the following accounting year. If the entered period of time laps over the current accounting year, the next accounting year as well has to be registered. The next accounting year is registered in the General | Register Accounting Year procedure in the Global Settings module.
The forecast can be created either from the current period and onward or from the following period and onward. This is entered in the General | Settings procedure in the Global Settings module.
