The Detail Settings time-phasing method allows the user to establish a unique Start Date, End Date, and Curve for an object’s budget line items. Curve selections include:

  • Manual - The user manually defines time-phased values per period.

  • Back Loaded - Line items spread in a back-loaded curve.

  • Front Loaded - Line items spread in a front-loaded curve.

  • Linear - Line items spread linearly.

  • Bell - Line items spread in a bell curve.

First, the Time-Phase Method for an object must be set to Detail Settings. Next, line item settings (Start Date, End Date, and Curve) must be established at the budget line item level.
