Perform Cost Planning

You need to plan costs for your project. For an initial estimate of the costs to be expected, you want to perform rough cost planning for the individual parts of the project.

Perform rough cost planning for your project by using overall planning via CJ40

Task 1

Rough Cost Planning

Proj I/00##

Version 1

Version 0 usually set for ACTUALs, others for Simulation.

I/00##-1 $25,000 EUR

I/00##-2 $80,000 EUR

I/00##-3 $50,000 EUR

​

Plan the above cost on Level 2 WBS

The Planning is current set by YEAR. (and not by PERIOD)

Since Level 1 WBS Planned total is 0, the check will result in ERROR (but the Cost Planned can still be SAVED).

Current Annual Value 2018 Less then Plan Value Distributed.

To Roll-up Cost of Lower Level WBS to Upper Level WBS.

Cost Extrapolated to upper level WBS

Planned Total at upper level WBS has been extrapolated from lower levels.

Check Again

Since all lower level WBS Planned Costs is

Equal to or Less than the

highest level WBS Planned Total …

NEW Checked without errors

Evaluate the planning done using Plan/Actual/Variance hierarchy report

Task 2

Evaluate Planning

Click “arrow” to expand to lower level WBS

Actuals are obviously ZERO

at this moment !

Double-click

I/00##-1 WBS

Cost is broken down into Value Category but Current Planned Costs is not assigned to a Value Category. As a result the Planned Costs is not showered with Value Categories.

Now CLICK on

Value Category

Next, Double-click Period/Year

Note, report toggled to view by Period. The Costs are assigned to the current year, but not to individual periods. This is because the Current Cost is not by Period.
