For all other budget line types, and any Fixed lines for which you do not wish to use a Hit List, the program will automatically calculate your Remaining Period in a declining balance mode (unless you select the Do Not Calculate RP option). For example, lets say you have a fixed line budgeted at $900.00 for a fixed line item. There are three possible scenarios:

No invoices have posted: The program will post the $900.00 in the remaining period column.
$500.00 worth of invoices have been posted: The program will automatically calculate $400.00 for your remaining period.
$1000 worth of invoices have posted: The program will not post anything to remaining period.

The main difference in the two methodologies is that the Hit List depends on one invoice being posted for the threshold amount, while the second methodology does not.

Field	Description
Calculate RP amount only	Tells RMS to calculate only the amounts for the remaining period.
Calculate PTD amount and RP amount	Tells RMS to calculate amounts for both period to date and the remaining period.
Calculate RF to Flex	Tells RMS to compare the remaining flex period to the Flex budget.
Do not calculate RP	Tells RMS not to calculate the remaining period. This function is helpful if you are at the end of the period, and have received all invoices you are going to receive for that line.
