Budget Allocation: New Developments in 3.0
Description
In Release 3.0, the following functions have been added to budgeting:
- Budget release
In Release 3.0, it is now possible in the
Project System to make successive budget releases. The release is based on the
current budget - that is, the original budget plus all the changes due to
supplements, returns, and transfers.
- Revalue budget values
The budget values of selected WBS elements can
be increased or reduced by a percentage or an amount.
- Copy view
In addition to the planned values, you can also
display various alternative views (for example, distributed value) and copy
the values to selected WBS elements.
In Release 3.0, you can take over a percentage
of view set as a budget or add it to existing budget values.
- Budget line items
You can enter long texts and/or short texts for
budget line items.
The document chain - that is, the relationship
between sender and receiver - is shown for budget updates by means of
supplements, returns, or transfers.
