In the Estimated actuals section of the Project Tracking tab, you can configure estimated actuals settings for your organization and projects. Organizational settings are inherited in new projects. You can further define these settings at the project level.
The Estimated actuals settings allows estimated actuals to be accrued to a cost item, then used to contribute to the forecast. This results in the forecast being more accurate. The estimated actuals are calculated based on the cost category values associated to the cost items.
When Turn on estimate actuals is switched to On, you can choose to turn estimated actuals to On or Off for Control and InEight Progress cost categories. The Estimated actual quantities from InEight Plan and InEight Progress are also enabled.
When any one of the cost categories are switched to On, the Actuals details Claim Actuals tab shows the option when claiming quantity to accrue estimated cost based on the amount claimed.
On the CBS, you can access the Claim actuals tab by right clicking the cost item, and then selecting Actuals details. In the Actuals details slide-out panel you can select the estimated actuals option.
