  Remaining Plan

Purpose

You want to regularly carry out planning for remaining planned costs and planned revenues throughout the project.

Note Note

The contract values entered in the construction progress report show the expected planned revenues from the beginning of construction up until the end of construction. In contrast, the remaining plan determines the remaining planned costs for the posting period (fiscal year and period) and the planned revenues for the WBS element.

End of the note.

Process Flow

  1. You enter the planned costs and planned revenues expected for the recipient WBS element from the start of the respective period and fiscal year.

    For more information see Creating, Changing and Displaying Remaining Plan .

    Caution Caution

    Revenues and costs expected over the course of the project are normally planned by detailed planning in the work breakdown structure.For more information see SAP Library under Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Project System (PS) Next navigation step Costs Next navigation step Cost Planning Next navigation step Manual Cost Planning in the Work Breakdown Structure. End of the navigation path

    However if you want to plan costs and revenues for the construction progress report, you cannot enter detailed planning in the work breakdown structure because the posting date for the planning data is not updated. Therefore, the previous planning data is missing. For the detailed planning in the work breakdown structure you still only see the current planning.

    End of the caution.

  2. The system updates the planning data.
