Copy Forecast into Budget – What to Use

If you want to copy your forecast into your budget in PMI, the correct method depends on where you are working.

Rooms & F&B (R&P / Budget & Forecast)

If you are working with revenue (Rooms, F&B, or other departments), you should use:

Copy (Submit) several

  • Go to Live Forecast
  • Open the Tools menu
  • Select Copy (Submit) several
  • Choose to copy from Live Forecast → Budget
  • Select period and version, then confirm

This copies your operational forecast into the Budget version.

Profit & Loss (Planning module)

If you are working with the full financial P&L, use instead:

Copy From Reference

  • Go to Planning → Profit & Loss
  • Open Tools
  • Select Copy From Reference
  • Choose source version (e.g. Forecast) and target (e.g. Budget)

Common confusion

These are two different workflows:

  • R&P: Operational revenue (Rooms, F&B)
  • Planning: Full financial P&L

If you use the wrong method, the copy will not work as expected.
