Overriding Forecast at Completion and reviewing forecast notes

Forecast overrides let the team replace a calculated expectation with an informed project forecast.

Best for: Project managers and controllers · Requires: Financial-management access.

Before overriding:

1. Review current commitments, COs, invoices, and Receipts.
2. Decide whether the override represents Forecast to Complete or Forecast at Complete.
3. Enter a note explaining the assumption.
4. Save and confirm the resulting Forecast at Completion.

An override should explain information that source records cannot yet express, such as expected exposure not ready for a formal CO. It should not hide known transactions that belong in a Commitment, Change Event, or Receipt.

Forecast at Completion estimates final cost. It does not forecast the timing of cash receipts or payments.
