Does an expected addition affect revenue or the revised budget?

No. An expected addition affects the cost side, that is the final forecast, and thereby the contribution margin. Revenue and revised budget do not change.

No. An expected addition only affects the cost side. The final forecast increases, and the contribution margin goes down correspondingly. Revenue and revised budget do not change.

  1. Enter an expected addition on a production code.

  2. Look at the key figures Final forecast and Contribution margin (%) at the top of the project.

  3. The final forecast has increased by the amount, and the contribution margin has gone down. On the production code you see the addition under Adjustments in Overview.

The Prod. codes table in AIMZ. 1 points to the Expected Addition column, 2 to the Final forecast column, where the expected addition is included, and 3 to the key figures Final forecast and Contribution margin (%) at the top of the project.
