Project Revenue Summary with Backlog Report

The Project Revenue Summary with Backlog report provides revenue, cost, budget, and backlog information for an individual project or a group of projects.

This information can help with the analysis of project results. Users can view information on the report at the organization level and select the levels for organization and project. This report provides drill-down capability to a lower, summary level of the Project Revenue Summary with Backlog report. You can drill from one summary level to another summary level until the end of the project tree is reached. Note that this drill is only a reflection of what is stored at a particular level and below. If amounts are stored at a higher level, they will not be reflected.

Users can select the columns they want displayed out of the extensive list of project measures.

Note: For those using the alternate project option in the Cognos reports, it is important to understand that the framework manager model and Project Revenue Summary with Backlog Report were developed assuming that the option in Costpoint to include lower-level projects is set to No.

When this option is set to Yes, amounts in Costpoint roll up from the child project up to the parent project that is linked to the alternate project before the amounts roll up again to the reporting level of the alternate project. Since the framework manager models and the project status report were developed with the assumption that this option is set to No, if you have linked projects, this double rollup of amounts does not pass through to the Project Revenue Summary with Backlog Report.

You determine whether or not to include lower-level projects from the Manage Alternate Projects screen in Costpoint.
