Labor Plan Summary Chart
Use the Labor Plan Summary chart on the Labor tab of the Projects form (in Planning mode) to view the estimate-to-complete (ETC), job-to-date (JTD), and other amounts for the project, phase, or task that is selected in the grid. This information is useful when you need to compare the ETC and JTD amounts with the contract amount at billing. Or, if you are planning at cost, you can view the estimate-at-completion (EAC) overhead for each project, phase, or task that is selected in the grid against the contract amount to determine the potential profit.

If you leave the Labor Charts dialog box open, you can select other rows in the grid, and the chart updates automatically to reflect the currently selected row. The chart also updates automatically if you change data in the grid that affects the currently selected row.
You can hover over or tap a bar on the chart to see the underlying amount.
The amounts on this chart display at billing or cost, depending on the option you select in the upper-right corner of the form. Whether both options are available depends on the budget type selected for the project plan. If both Billing and Cost options are available, you can switch between them, and the chart's information will update accordingly. Billing or Cost displays as part of the chart title, so you know at a glance which you are viewing.
If your firm uses multiple currencies, the currency in use is indicated next to the Billing or Cost option. The project cost currency is always used when viewing projects and plans at cost. A configuration setting that your system administrator selects determines whether project cost currency or billing currency is used when you view projects and plans at billing.
When you select the Cost option, some information may not display if your security role does not provide access rights to labor cost rates and amounts.
