Review and Approve Revenue Forecasts for Selected Clients

Depending on your role in WorkBook, you can review and approve revenue forecasts for selected clients in the Revenue Forecast submodule. You can also use this option to change the net revenue forecast status of individual clients. The reviewers are determined by the selected revenue forecast method. In addition, you can change the reviewer per job or pipeline activity in the RF Responsible column in the bottom grid.

To perform this procedure, you must have access to Finance & Administration as defined in the User Access Rights submodule under Settings.

To review and approve revenue forecasts for selected clients:

  1. On the module toolbar, click Finance & Administration .
  2. In the left pane of the Finance & Administration screen, click General Ledger > Revenue Forecast.
  3. If you have more than one company in your system, use the drop-down list above the Finance & Administration menu in the left pane to select the company associated with the revenue forecast that you want to review or approve.
  4. On the top grid toolbar, use the drop-down list to select the revenue forecast that you want to review or approve. To display the revenue forecasts for all the companies in the system, select Include All Companies. To display inactive forecasts, select Include Inactive Forecasts.
  5. On the top grid toolbar, click Click Revenue Forecast Options > Review Actions > Flexible Review.
    WorkBook displays a check box under the first column for each client row in the grid.
  6. Select the check boxes for the clients that you want to include in the review.
  7. On the top grid toolbar, click Click Revenue Forecast Options > Review Actions and select an option from the drop-down menu.
