	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>If you want to generate a <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#000325" role="glossary">budgeted costs of work scheduled</Link> (BCWS) for a project with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/ptc/tpptc5200m000" role="session">Generate Time Phased Budget (tpptc5200m000)</GUIRef> session, you must assign <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#EarnedValueC.tp" role="glossary">earned value method</Link> related data to the <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#000005" role="glossary">activities</Link> in a time-phased budget. The BCWS will be calculated for the <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#000363" role="glossary">leaf</Link> nodes and aggregated through the activity structure. Earned-value-method data in a version can be maintained only for those activities for which a budget amount is present in the version.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>With earned-value-method-related data you can apply performance measure techniques generating the BCWP, and the <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#ActualCostOf.tp" role="glossary">ACWP</Link>. The following sessions are used to define earned value. The sessions all start in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/ptc/tpptc5511m000" role="session">EV Method Related Data (tpptc5511m000)</GUIRef> session by selecting the Details EVM... option on the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/ptc/tpptc5111s000" role="session">EV Milestones Related Data (tpptc5111s000)</GUIRef> session to define the amount or percentage for activities with an earned value method of Milestone.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/ptc/tpptc5112s000" role="session">EV Start/End Percentage Related Data (tpptc5112s000)</GUIRef> session to define the start- and end-percentages for activities with an earned value method of Start and End Percentage.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/ptc/tpptc5113s000" role="session">EV Maximum Percentage Related Data (tpptc5113s000)</GUIRef> session to define the maximum percentages for activities with an earned value method of Schedule Percentage Completed or Level of Effort. see <Link href="/baanerp/tp/onlinemanual/000159" role="manual">To use an earned value method</Link> If activity data is stored in a version which is not the current version, you</ListItem>

This is only possible if the status of the current version is Free or Actual and the project status is Free or Active.</Paragraph>
