What is the Copy (Submit) from Live forecast process? 

A forecast is used as a monthly revenue goal. Once set, it does not change. The Live forecast, however, is a rolling forecast, which is regularly updated with the most recent data available.  

To set a revenue forecast, PMI (Performance Management Intelligence) recommends using the Live forecast as a basis. This is done by submitting Live forecast to forecast. When a Live forecast is submitted to Forecast, the forecast is ‘frozen’. 

This is a monthly task It is PMI best practise to copy Live forecast to Forecast for the next 12 months by the 20^th of the month. 

Note – the exact deadline or process may vary depending on company policy – refer to your property’s SOP (Standard Operational Procedure) if you are unsure. 

Important: The forecast should be submitted before the month starts and must align with the official forecast submitted in your reporting tool (if other than PMI). Once confirmed and submitted, this should not change. You can, and should, update and save live forecast as often as necessary during the current period.
