Use this option to edit iteration data for Project Ledger accounts without loading the iteration into the live project budget worksheet. You can update the Base and New amounts stored in an iteration for the ledger accounts you select and display.
The Edit Project Iteration page lets you select ledger account records based on iteration number, project code, and account code. The window displays iteration data. For each ledger account you display, you can also view the full budget record as it is currently stored in the live project budget worksheet.

The updates you enter in this page do not affect the live expenditure worksheet, until you use the Load Iteration option.
