Spectrum to Autodesk
Agave creates a single Forecast Adjustment Line with the Estimated Cost at Completion from Spectrum. To view the Forecast Adjustment, select the 3 dots for a line on the budget view and click "Edit Forecast Adjustment":

Agave will update this same line item each time Cost Projections are synced, so it will continue to reflect the full estimated cost at completion (rather than syncing in additional adjustments).
Configuring the Budget View
By default, Autodesk's Forecast Final Cost calculation uses the original estimate, costs committed and incurred thus far, and Forecast Adjustments.

Redefining the Budget View
Go to Settings > Budget Overview Columns > Manage
Find the “Forecast Final Cost” column:
Since Autodesk doesn’t allow editing the default column calculations, rename and duplicate it. Then, make the calculation of the new column only “Forecast Adjustments”:
Go back to the Budget View and replace the old column ("Default - Forecast Final Cost") with the new one ("Forecast Final Cost"):
