A plan of expected receipts or payments for a company and fiscal year, entered by hand in Finance Setup under Planning. Its lines feed the Cash Flow Forecast when the forecast's Pipeline option is Include weighted pipeline: every active projection of the forecast's company counts, whatever its fiscal year, status or scenario, so only one version of a plan should be active at a time. A projection never posts to the ledger. The Financial Projection statement in the Financials app is a separate run-rate view of posted actuals and does not read these records on the standard screens.
