Labor Plan EVT Charts General Tab

Use the General tab to select report options for the Labor Plan EVT Charts report and to save sets of options for reuse.

In Reporting Period on this tab, you can specify that the reporting period is based on the plan's accordion calendar settings. You set up accordion calendars for plans in the Project Planning form. Accordion calendars can contain so many time intervals that the report is difficult to read. To reduce the number of columns on the report, do one or both of the following:

• Use the Reporting Period options on this tab to specify an alternate start date or end date so that the reporting period is shorter and requires fewer columns.
• Specify larger time intervals for the plan in the Top Scale and Bottom Scale fields on the Accordion Calendar Format dialog box.

Contents

Field	Description
Report Name	You can change the default report name.
Earned Value Formula	Select the formula that Deltek uses to calculate the earned value amount. EV% * Planned: Earned value percent * Planned amount EV% * Direct Labor Fee: Earned value percent * Direct labor fee amount EV% * Baseline: Earned value percent * Baseline amount EV% * EAC: Earned value percent * EAC amount
Project Plan Lookup	Use the lookup to select the plan for which you want to generate the report.

Reporting Period

To specify the reporting period, select one start date option and one end date option. The start and end dates are based on the accordion calendar dates and scales on the Project Planning form.

Field	Description
Use Plan's Accordion Start Date	The earliest date in the accordion calendar is used as the start date.
Use Accordion Period that Includes This Start Date	Specify a date. If it does not match a period start date from the accordion calendar, Deltek uses the start date from the period in which that date falls. When you select this option, the first period of the graph and data table includes accumulated values for the plan from periods prior to the start date. One exception is a start date in a period that has no earned value percentage associated with it and for which no future periods with earned value percentages exist. In this case, the report displays zero for the earned value amounts, rather than the last values found.
Use Plan's Accordion End Date	Deltek uses the last date in the accordion calendar as the end date.
Include Overflow	If you select Use Plan's Accordion End Date, select this option to include an overflow period that displays the total of any planned amounts falling after the plan's accordion calendar end date.
Use Accordion Period that Includes This End Date (date field)	Specify a date. If it does not match a period end date from the accordion calendar, the end date from the period in which that date falls is used.
For Plans Budgeted at Cost and Billing, use:	You can budget a plan at both cost rates and billing rates. Select the type of rates used to calculate amounts on the report.
