How to do it

  1. Go to Setup and Operation.

  2. Hold the mouse pointer over the row and click the pencil in the Expense item column, or click the name. The expense item opens as its own page.

  3. Open the Cost price estimate tab and change the monthly amounts.

  4. Save. The deviation is recalculated.

Example

If you set a month to 0, the deviation increases by that amount. You can then spread the amount evenly over the other months, so the deviation goes down again.

Good to know

  • The deviation is the difference between the revised budget and the forecast on the row. The budget column may be called Cost price estimate in your table.

  • If you have completed a month, there are separate ways to handle the deviation.
