If you need to add or adjust historical hours in PMI (e.g. for last year), manual entry is not done in Budget & Forecast. Instead, you can use one of these two methods:

Option 1: Upload hours via template (recommended)

1. Go to Administration > Data Upload Centre.
2. Click on Download Templates.
3. Select and download the hours upload template.
4. Fill in the template with your data (make sure to use the correct year and department codes).
5. ‘Go to Import Files and upload your completed template.
6. Map the fields correctly, validate, and resolve any errors.
7. Click Update PMI to apply the changes.

Note: If the period is locked, it must be unlocked first via Advanced Settings > Period Locking. Only d2o or designated admins can unlock past periods.

Option 2: Manual entry in Cockpit (if allowed)

1. Navigate to the Cockpit for the department in question.
2. Use the date selector to switch to the previous year.
3. If editable, enter the hours directly in the relevant rows.
4. Save your changes.

Manual entry for historical hours is only possible if the period is unlocked and your role has the appropriate permissions.
