Budget Variance Report - Dynamic Actuals YTD plus remaining Budget forecast comparison
The ability to compare two budgets is available but I want to be able to compare a full year forecast that is comprised of actuals YTD Plus budget for the remaining periods with the full year overall budget , this doesn't appear to be possible. Comparisons actual month v month budget, actual YTD v Budget YTD and Actual YTD+Budget v Full Year Budget are a standard requirement and currently not possible in XERO.
Thanks for sharing this idea, Lorna. We understand the request to add a full-year forecast column to the Budget Variance report that automatically combines actuals year-to-date with the remaining budget for the year.
This would allow users to compare their projected full-year result against the original full-year budget directly in the report, without manually combining actuals and remaining budget figures.
