Shaded months haven't closed: they show the budget in grey.
Partner cross-sales aren't tagged in Xero: their revenue sits in the ordinary revenue accounts, so their own lines show no actuals. Orbit Logistics shows actuals once a Xero account is mapped to it on Data & mapping. The budget keeps Orbit Logistics's direct costs inside Direct costs; forecasts put them on their own line.
