Our company really wants to use forecasting. And sugar keeps letting us down.

We have the reporting structure setup, the fiscal year (in Australia its july1-June30 so we currently have 2010/11 and I just setup 2011/12), each month setup as a time period (1/m/y - 31/m/y), and then created a forecast schedule each person.

At the beginning of the year I had setup all the schedules and forecasts, and we had a problem getting the correct months showing in the dashlet for Quota vs Committed vs Actual. Despite a support ticket, there was no answer and after a couple of months, the correct months started showing in the dashlet.

With the new financial year about to start, I setup 2011/12, then all the months. Created schedules for each person.

The first problem we alway bump into, is that the month won't appear in the dropdown unless the schedule start date is today or earlier.

So yesterday I went through and manually adjusted all schedules for the whole year, to contain yesterdays date, so that they would appear in the dropdown. Yes, they can now enter the quota.

But the dashlet for Quota vs Committed vs Actual is again stuffed up. Now it seems to be showing June 2012, May 2012, April 2012, March 2012, Feb 2012.
Logically it should be showing the current month plus the next 5 months - June 2011, July 2011, Aug 2011 etc.

Is this a bug in the dashlet, or do I have to fudge the forecast schedule start dates to make it work correctly?

It's such a cumbersome process manually editing through the admin panel for each person. There must be a better way, or a better dashlet. !@#$%
