Forecast maintenance (POM029B)

Related topics

The purpose of this program is to give an overview of the planned and actual totals of the different phases defined for this project.

The project cost control enquiry provides the user with an overview of the actual situation of the project from the cost price point of view.

Total net sales value, tied capital (i.e. the value of open purchase), planned cost and actual cost price are displayed for each phase of the project. The differences between planned and actual costs are also displayed. The forecast cost can also be entered.

The totals are updated at run time when a price of a detail line is changed (i.e. maintenance programs, project product costing, services and activities reporting, purchase order reception, production order reception). This means that no special calculation function is necessary.
