Update EAC

Use the Update EAC Dialog Box to manually update the forecast values for a control account or work package.

You can use the Update EAC utility only if you selected Hours, Currency, or Hours and Currency in the Forecast section of the Preferences tab of the Project Properties dialog box.

You must have access control that is greater than read-only to use the Update EAC utility.

To manually update the forecast for a control account or work package:
  1. Display the Project view, click a control account or work package, and take one of the following actions:
    • In the Tasks group on the Edit tab, click Update EAC.
    • Right-click the Spreadsheet pane and select Update EAC on the shortcut menu.
  2. Select Update EAC from the shortcut menu.
  3. On the Update EAC dialog box, enter the new forecast value in the New value field.

    If you selected Currency or Hours in the Scale Retain EAC field of the Forecast section of the Preferences tab of the Project Properties dialog box, the Update EAC dialog box contains a field for updating the value for the Hours or Currency. If you selected Hours and Currency in the Scale Retain EAC field, the Update EAC dialog box contains two fields for updating the values for both Hours and Currency.

    After you revise the EAC, you will have to calculate the forecast so that time-phased data is also updated.

  4. Click OK.
