Adjustments Overview

You can use adjustments to edit the value of a plan cell. In addition to editing the value of the plan cell, you are able to enter additional details, such as the expiration date and the reason for making an adjustment. You can also create an opposite adjustment, allowing you to take values from one plan cell and apply them to another. This makes it easy to record when revenue is going to slip from one column into another by applying an inverse variance. For more information about how to make an adjustment, see Making Adjustments.

Visual Indicators

The following icons are used when an adjustment is applied:

• Value increased following direct adjustment indicates the cell value has increased following a direct adjustment.
• Value decreased following direct adjustment indicates the cell value has decreased following a direct adjustment.

Tooltips

• Adjusted Total Value: The new cell value after entering the variance.
• Variance: The difference between the calculated total value and the adjusted total value.
• Adjusted By: The name of the person making the adjustment.
• Reason: The reason for making the adjustment.
• Expiration Date: The date on which the adjustment expires, and thus no longer applied to the plan cell.
