The amount set in the Set Budget screen is the default amount for the current and future months. In case if you need to increase/decrease the budget just for a specific month in the future, you can do this in the Budget Override screen. That sounds to me like making a revised forecast. |

So, it would be a term well within the realm of politispeech... ie, it means what it means when politicians say what it means... day by day. |
