Presenting Planning Values 

Features

In addition to overall and annual planning values, you can see the following values by choosing Views:

Distributed Value

This is calculated as follows:

 

Structure planning values of lower-level WBS elements

+

Planning values for cost elements, from lower-level WBS elements

+

Unit costings from lower-level WBS elements

If you planned by cost element in an earlier release, then you can convert these planning values with the BPDIST00 report.

Distributable Value

This is the difference between the planning value and the distributed value.

Plan Total of a WBS Element

This is calculated as follows:

Structure planning value (independent of cost element)

+

Cost element planning value

+

Unit costing value

+

Value of the additive orders for the project, meaning the orders assigned to this and all lower-level WBS elements.

+

Value of the additive networks and network activities that are assigned to this and all lower-level WBS elements (= planning costs for networks or network activities)

+

Plan total

Additive values consist of:

+

Overall planning value (independent of cost element)

+

Cost element planning value

+

Unit costing values

Order / Network

This consists of the planning values of additive orders or networks.

Planning values for additive orders consist of:

+

Approximate planning values

+

Planning values for cost elements

+

Unit costing

Planning values for additive networks consist of:

+

Costings from internally and externally processed business transactions

+

Values from cost transactions

Previous Year

These are the planning values of the previous year

Cumulated Value

This is the plan total of all years.

Remainder

This is the difference between the total planning value and the cumulated value.

Unit costing values

Values from Cost element Planning

You use the parameters in the planning profile to specify which default values the system displays with the planning value, when you access cost planning.

Settings

You determine whether you want to enter planning values in 1; 10; 100; 1,000; 10,000; 100.000; or millions (**0 to **6) of currency units via Settings ® Scaling. Depending on the currency, you can also choose more than one decimal place for the display of your planning values.
