What to watch out for

Telecommunications is the line least worth your attention. Plans are fixed, the amounts are small, and the trailing 30-day average is usually accurate to within a few euros. The only things that move it are adding team members to a plan or a contract renegotiation, and both are small enough that catching them a month late costs nothing. Leave it on the default and spend the time on payroll or advertising.

How it's forecast

With the default setup — no extensions, no drivers, no custom projections — Telecommunications is projected from your own booked actuals using the trailing 30-day average: the last 30 days are summed and divided by 30 to get a daily rate, which is carried forward flat and aggregated into each week and month.

daily rate = sum of the last 30 days of actuals ÷ 30
monthly forecast ≈ daily rate × days in month

For Telecommunications, €200 booked over the last 30 days gives €200 ÷ 30 ≈ €7/day, so a 30-day month projects to about €200. As new actuals import, the window rolls forward and the projection updates on its own.

Horizon: up to 24 months of history and 24 months forward. The table shows 12 months (or 13 weeks / 90 days) by default — scroll horizontally for the rest.

Want a different shape — a fixed cost, a growth trend, or a share of revenue? That's what the Custom Projection extension and driver-based forecasting are for. This page describes the default, historical-only behaviour.
