An expectation is a cost still to arrive and which is not included in the current prognosis. You can use the expectation for comparison with the prognosis and to create additional revenues which are necessary if there is a gap , regardless of the already placed orders or received invoices.
Internally, every expectation is converted to a Latest Estimation.
Normally you would register an expectation if you expect a claim, an unexpected setback or a non-legally agreed funding (for instance from governments).
