query about Expected Revenue field under Opportunity object

Expected Revenue is read-only field displayed only after creating an opportunity. i guess it is calculated from multiplication of Amount and Percentage fields (displayed in page layout).
my problem is no validation rule is working upon this field (Expected Revenue).
for eg. i put ExpectedRevenue < 10000 in validation rule but it always fails.
please help me out.
 
thanks,
Mahesh

Yes, Mahesh.

You are correct.

Expected revenue is calculated from multiplication of Amount and Percentage fields.

You can write Opportunity validation rules using (Probability  *  Amount) instead of using  Expected revenue field.

I think this will solve your problem.

Thanks Dinesh.

But is there no way to validate Expected Revenue field?

Also is it universal that Expected Revenue is calculated from same formula ?

Thanks,

Mahesh
