Time-Phasing is a required process for line items when Time-Phase is checked in the Project Setup screen (Projects > Project Setup – General tab).
Time-phasing may be performed as follows:
-
Manually for cost control objects with Time-Phased Forecast or Manual Details forecast method.
-
Systematically by running the Refresh Time-Phased Forecast action for the cost control objects with all the other curves. These results can be viewed on the Time-Phasing tab.
-
Ensure that the End Date selected occurs after the Start Date. If not, the Time-Phased Cost cannot be calculated.
-
To streamline the time-phasing of line item data while maintaining maximum control of per period values, one of the non-manual curves, time-phase the data, then assign the Manual curve to allow for per period control of values.
-
If the Project Exchange Rate Table is not established in Project Setup screen, then the system cannot calculate Cost in Project Currency.
