Use the value "Actuals" for the Source Plan field for actuals rows appended into forecast plans instead of the forecast plan name

Currently, when a forecast plan is created, actuals rows use the plan name in the Source Plan field (e.g., “FY2025 November Forecast”). To improve clarity between actuals and forecast data, we request that actuals rows appended during plan creation use “Actuals” as the Source Plan value.

 

If implemented, this will illustrate how plan data appears when organized by Source Plan:

Rows appended into plan from actuals

FY2025 November Forecast
