28.01.26 12:27 PM

🧠Simple Structure. Clear Insight.

Departments in Forecast 5 let you split income and direct costs so you can clearly see where profit is really coming from — without losing a consolidated view. Departments help your forecast reflect how your business really operates — with clear gross profit visibility by area, and totals that always roll up correctly.

🔗What are Departments?

Departments are used to sub-divide Income and Direct Costs, allowing Forecast 5 to:

🔹Calculate gross profit by department

🔹Show departmental results directly in the Profit & Loss forecast

🔹Highlight gross profit percentage per department


You can create up to five departments in a standard forecast.
