Retain EAC

Use the Retain EAC method to edit the Estimate At Complete (EAC) value and report the new EAC value. This is useful if you want to report the same value month after month.

The Retain EAC method works by adjusting a particular resource based on the actual cost for the same resource. Actual costs with resources that are not forecasted are not included in this calculation. When you report an EAC, the actual costs with a different resource are added to the cost and the original forecast. Thus, the total EAC increases.
