1. Profile: – Enter the new profile key, you can enter up to digits alpha numeric characters.
2. Text: – Enter the descriptive text of the planning profile.
3. Total values: – Check this option if the total planned project cost would be considered as its overall value, for example if a project has a total planned cost is $10,000 and $10,000 would be considered its overall value.
4. Annual Values: – Check this option if the planned project expenditure is based on annual. For example the total planned project cost is $10,000, the setting allows to plan the expenditure across years like $5,000 for 2013, $3,000 for 2014 and $2,000 for 2015.
5. Past: – It refers to number of years before the start year that you are able to plan. For example if you enter 3 in the field and starting year is 2013, you can able to change or view the plan back to 2010.
6. Future: – It is similar to past field settings. It refers to number of years after the start year that you are able to plan.
7. Start: – It refers to first year that planning will be accessible. For example if 3 is entered in the field, the current year is 2013 and the first year allowed planning for 2016.
8. Exchange rate: – Update the exchange rate method for currency translation.
9. Decimal places: – Update the desired decimal places that you want to plan.
