The Five Year Forecast option allows you to extract forecast data for the fiscal year that is current.  The grid contains the accounts included in the forecast along with its associated forecast line number and description as well as the three prior year's actual values and current year FYTD expendable or receivable values.

From the Periodic menu,

1. Click on 'Five Year Forecast'.
2. Select CSV or Excel under Format Type.
3. Click  to save it in CSV or Excel format on your computer. 

Format Types

• The CSV option generates a comma separated formatted file of the forecast data containing the forecast line numbers, prior year actual values and current year estimates. This is similar to the CSV file automatically generated in Classic's USASFF program. 
• The Excel option will automatically upload the forecast data into the SSDT's Five Year Forecast spreadsheet.

Legacy Spreadsheets

As noted above, when using the Excel option, it will automatically upload your data from USAS-R into the SSDT's Five Year Forecast Standard spreadsheet format.  However, we have also provided template spreadsheet formats below which you can import your own data into.

SSDT Forecast Basic

• The basic sheet contains what you need to import data from USAS and complete the forecast as required without the extra fluff.  We recommend this sheet if you have a slower PC/Mac without much memory, or if you just don't want to deal with anything "extra".
