About Forecasting

Revenue Forecasting

Revenue Forecasting enables you to automatically generate accurate revenue forecasts for projects and opportunities in your services organization using the current data and taking into account the selected recognition method, such as "Deliverable", "Equal Split", or "% Complete".

You can schedule PSA to automatically take regular snapshots of this data (known as "revenue forecast versions"), removing the need to maintain data on spreadsheets. Using your insight into the business and detailed up-to-date knowledge, you can make management adjustments to the data in these snapshots to ensure they reflect any risk or upside.

Billing Forecasting

Notes:

Billing Forecasting is to be superseded by Revenue Forecasting at some point after the PSA Fall 2020 release. If you are already using Billing Forecasting, FinancialForce will provide you with a migration path to enable you to move to Revenue Forecasting. If you are not already using Billing Forecasting, we recommend that you choose Revenue Forecasting as your forecasting solution.

Billing Forecasting was previously called Enhanced Services Forecasting. It has been renamed to better reflect the functionality.

Billing Forecasting enables you to automatically generate billing forecasts for a given time period at the regions, practices, and groups (RPG) level for projects and opportunities.

The forecast identifies the types of records that have already been billed, such as timecards and expenses, and the types of records that are scheduled to be billed, such as assignments. The forecast can be configured to include unscheduled project backlog and opportunities.

You can view the data and adjust it using overrides via the Billing Forecast page.
