| # Control by Project (tpppc4510m000) Use this session to monitor the projects that are executed. The actual cost control is aggregated at the project level. This is one in a range of sessions that are available in the Project Progress module for monitoring projects. Each of the sessions provides a different level of detail. Note To select multiple records, hold the CTRL key.

Currency The default currency in the overview session is the project currency. Both in a dependent and in an independent currency system you can change this currency to other currencies with the Rotate Currency option <CTRL-R>. The following sequence is applicable: Project currency Local currency Reporting currency 1 Reporting currency 2 Note Only the last three currencies are home currencies. Total Budget The budgeted amount, which is shown in the control data. Actual The actual budget. Earned Value Displays the costs/quantities that are so far allowed (Earned Value). The performed are calculated as follows: actual progress multiplied by the budget. Note For exceptions on this calculation see: How LN calculates the performed. Variance The result's amount. Revenues The revenues that are posted to the history for all periods up to the current one. WIP The amount of work in process (WIP). Main Project Total Cost Indicator Indicates project totals. Either of the following: Main Project Total Project Total Actual The actual costs (so without the commitments) posted to the history for all periods up to the current one. Variance The result's amount. WIP The amount of the work in process (WIP). Incl. Commit Actual The amount that is spent (in this period) including commitments.
    total spent = actual costs (this period) + commitments (this period)
Incl. Commit. Earned Value The costs that you can incur in the current period. Incl. Commit. Variance The result is computed with the formula:
    result = performed (this period) - actual costs (this period) - commitments (this period)
Excl. Commit Actual The actual costs (so without the commitments) posted to the history for the current period. Excl. Commit. Variance The result is computed with the formula:
    result = performed (this period) - actual costs (this period)
Revenues The revenues that are posted to the history for all periods up to the current one. Actual The result's amount excluding commitments. Variance The additional cost for the end of the project that is anticipated at the end of the current period. Forecast Cost The additional cost for the end of the project that is anticipated at the end of the current period. Variance at Completion The additional cost for the end of the project that is anticipated. Forecast Extra Revenues The additional revenue that is forecast for the end of the project and is anticipated at the end of the current period. |
