Budget MOD009C9S

Access

Program Area

Information

In the area header, specifications on the program, the current program baseline as well as the Recalculatebutton, can be found. The last one initiates the complete recalculation of all values. This is necessary if, e.g., the project assignments have been changed, etc.

Information

The data is divided into three blocks:
- Costs Block
- Effort Block
- Benefit and Revenues Block

Information

Summarization

The lowest level is formed by cost type group lines of yearly tranches. From here,
- the values of all cost type groups of a yearly tranche are summarized in the sum line of this yearly tranche (summed up) on one hand,
- on the other hand, the values of individual cost type groups of all yearly tranches are summarized (summed up) to the respective cost type groups at program total level.
The top level is the sum line at program total level. It represents the summarized values from all cost type group lines of all yearly tranches.

At horizontal level, the following columns are contained in the Costs block:
- Budget column groups (Program budget, Project budget, Approved, Requested, Baseline columns)
- Cost column group (Actual, Remaining, Total, Deviation, % deviation)

Procedure

All columns except Program budget are output columns. They cannot be edited manually. The values displayed here are summarized values from all projects assigned to the program and their subprojects.
The values of the Program budget column only refer to the program itself without considering the assigned projects. Manual input is only possible at yearly tranche level. At entire program level, only summarized (summed up) values are displayed.

Information

The structure, the display, and the editing options in the Effort block are identical to those in the Costs block.
- The cost type groups displayed here, are of the effort class.

Information

Left of the heading column, traffic light triangles visualize the deviation between budget values and the calculated cost or effort values for each line.
The traffic lights are only displayed if budget values are available.
The reference field for the traffic light is the % deviation field in the respective line.
- Green traffic light: Total costs lower than budget
- Yellow traffic light: Costs/effort overrun of up to 5%
- Red traffic light: Costs/effort overrun of more than 5%
The % deviation values reference the absolute values in the Deviation column.
- The absolute deviation values
  - of costs at project level are calculated from:
    - Total - Project budget
  - of costs in the yearly tranches are calculated from:
    - Total - Project budget
  - of effort at program level are calculated from:
    - Total - Project budget
  - of effort in the yearly tranches are calculated from:
    - Total - Project budget

Information

At vertical level, the block consists of
- a program total level and
- a yearly tranche level

Summarization

The values of the separate yearly tranches are summarized to the program total level (summed up).

At horizontal level, the following column groups are available in the Benefit and revenues block:
- Benefit column groups
- Revenue column groups

Procedure

All columns are output columns. They cannot be edited manually. The values displayed here are summarized values from all projects assigned to the program and their subprojects.

Note

The block is only visible if the benefit or revenues are available for at least one of the assigned projects.

Information

The construction (levels and columns) and the editing options in the Projects area are identical to those in the Program block.
The displayed values are summarized values of the corresponding project and all of its subprojects from the Budget module (project).
