| # Display Financial Analysis (Graph) (tppss0701m000) Use this session to create a graph of the progression of costs and revenues during the project execution time. By analysis of the costs and revenues within a specific period, you can make a planning of the required or remaining amounts in the future. Select the appropriate check boxes to display the associated options. Note You can only use the budgeted costs of an activity budget. If you clear the Budgeted Costs check box, you cannot distribute budgeted costs over the activity. The graph shows a cost line and a revenue line. Both lines consist partly of actual amounts and partly of planned amounts. Before the reference date the actual costs and revenues are shown. After the reference date the planned costs and revenues including the forecast are shown.

Cost Analysis Version The cost analysis version of the activity budget from which you want to collect the costs. Time Unit to be Shown Select the time unit you want to show in the graph. Note The value of the Time unit is restricted to Day on webtop due to tools problems in graphs on webtop. But the user can enter the From and To dates which can be weekly, monthly or daily. LN displays the data based on the specified From and To dates and checks for the date specified in the Reference Date field. Reference Date The reference date must be between the planned start and finish date of the project. If the forecast and actual costs are given for a started activity, the following example holds: The graph displays a line going upto 274, which is calculated in the following way: On the reference date the free budget is only 30, that is, 125 divided by the days the activity runs, multiplied by the days from the reference day on left to finish the activity, so: (125/91)*22. The forecast is 144, that is, 150 divided by the days of the effective forecast of the activity multiplied by the days left from the reference date on: (150/23)*22. The actual costs are released at 2010/12/08. The formula is: actuals + forecast + budget = 100 + 144 + 30 = 174 Note If the forecast lies before the activity start date, the forecast starts counting on the activity start date. If you use terms of payment, the offsetting influences the release of the budget. |
