Currently, there is no ability to add comments when using the compare shortcuts feature or variance analysis. This request is to able to do a comparison analysis on a full year forecast plan (actuals + forecast) between one forecast plan and another forecast plan and provide comments based on the FY column where there are variances . The business need is to explain how and why a forecast changed between plans.
