Phocas has a new user documentation site. This site will be retired soon.

Revert to the baseline values

Typically, budgets are created based on prior period actuals data, then those values are edited for the current budget period. You can revert a cell, row or a selection of cells and rows to the baseline values.

You might want to revert to baseline to:

  • Check that the values in the baseline are flowing through to the budget.

  • Undo all of the changes you and other budget users have made in the workflow, to start from a clean slate.

  • If you based your budget on a forecast stream and have since updated that stream, bring everything back to that base state.
