Has anyone had this situation and how did you resolve it?

Customer sends us a forecast for the year, by item.  They are going to buy $1,200,000 of product in the year 2025.  The distribution is $100,000 per month estimated spend.  

We also want to compare what they said they forecast to actual spend (invoices).  

This becomes a rolling 12-month forecast so it can span multiple calendar years. 

In late February they tell us they want to change the forecast and move the $50,000 for March to April.  April now becomes $150,000.

I wrote a customization for something very similar to this. It allowed uploading a spreadsheet of forecasted items (by month) to a new tab on the Customer account.

To be honest, I didn’t completely understand how it was going to be used, but it sounds very similar.
