Time-phasing balance tools are used to manage differences between time-phased cost, hours and quantities of line items with a Manual curve with the cost, hours and quantities entered on the Original Budget screen. A balancing tool may be accessed by simply clicking on an object’s Delta Cost in the Original Budget Time-Phasing panel. This tool will update the selected object’s line items with a Manual curve. Options are as follows:
-
Clear Time-Phasing: Set time-phasing amounts to 0.
-
Update Totals from Manual Time-Phasing: Update a line item’s total amount on the Original Budget screen with the line item’s total time-phased amount.
-
