Actuals Field Descriptions

For each WBS element you selected in the Actuals Open dialog box, the Actuals window displays a gray row, showing the WBS and its associated fields, which is read-only reference information about the WBS.

See Introduction to WBS for details about the WBS fields.

Blocks of Actuals by Unit

When you enter actuals against the current WBS element, each Resource or EOC is given six rows in the grid, for each of the units that may be affiliated with the actuals (Hours/Units, Prime, Overhead, G&A, Cost of Money, and Fee). The six rows of data are referred to as a block. The units of actual data (Hours/Units, Prime, Overhead, G&A, COM, Fee) each have their own row, which is extended in the right window pane across all the fiscal months in the project. Here you enter the number of hours, units, or dollars for the current resource or EOC into the appropriate month. You can enter values in decimals; MPM will round off the value and display the whole numbers, but the values are stored in their full precision.

These are the fields or columns displayed in the Actuals Sheet. Fields which are required display <Required> in the cell. These fields must be filled. You can change the columns that are displayed using Column Hide.
