Hi ​@Susan Su,

It is a logical error, and not possible to create more than one line for the same combination.

You need to use Spread Profile functionality to distribute the amount into different period.

Please refer to the link below, ​@Buddhika Kurera has explained the functionality in detail.

I doubt, there is any standard screen or report available that provides period wise Forecast Vs Actual details.

You need to configure a BR or Quick report where Forecast per Period details can be fetched from Project Forecast Spread Details while Actual details from respective GL period wise.
