# Legacy- Select the fiscal year and set targets

The first step in both Simple and Advanced planning for a portfolio is to select the fiscal period for the data that you want to work with. Next, set the target amounts for both operating and capital expenses.

## Before you begin

On the [Portfolio form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-business-management/portfolio-management/t_CreateAPortfolio.md), set the **Portfolio Planning** field to **Simple** or **Advanced** for the portfolio.

Role required: it\_portfolio\_manager or it\_pps\_admin

## About this task

Typically, the target amount is provided by the steering committee or the investment committee. Based on the actual amount spent in the last fiscal year, the target for the planned fiscal year can be 110% of the amount spent in the last year. The target is the starting point for planning projects for the next fiscal year.

**Note:** The PPS admin can also set the portfolio target by navigating to **Project Administration** > **Enter Portfolio Target**.

## Procedure

1.  [Access the legacy Portfolio workbench](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-business-management/portfolio-management/t_AccessThePortfolioWorkbench.md) and open the portfolio that you want to perform the planning for.

2.  In the **Fiscal Year** choice list, select the year that you want to perform the planning for.

    You can perform financial planning for only one fiscal period at a time.

3.  In **Step 1: Set Target**, click **Set Target**.

4.  Enter the amounts for **Capex Target** and **Opex Target**.

    **Note:** The budget target defined in the portfolio workbench can also be viewed in ITFM.

5.  Click **Save**.


## Result

-   The budget target appears in step 1. You can click the target amount to revise the amount.
-   The portfolio capital and operational expense target for different fiscal years are updated in the **Portfolio Target** related list on the portfolio record.
