Overall Forecast Results Panel

The Overall Forecast Results panel allows you to view the total charges for all elements, for both forecasted and existing periods. Hence, CA PMA Chargeback joins and displays records from the CCCTAB and CCCMOD tables on the Overall Forecast Results panel.

Note:

• You can distinguish periods from the CCCMOD tablefrom those in the CCCTAB table by the * symbol to the left of the Prd column (see A. below).
• The Amount column shows the total charge for each period. The amount can be in units (U), thousands (K), millions (M), billions (B), or trillions (T). The S column specifies the scale factor used for each forecasted period (see B. below).
• The first value of the scale represents the smallest charge. The last value of the scale represents the largest charge plus ten percent (see C. below).
