symbol next to the resource code.An apportioned estimate is an estimate based on a percentage of an existing baseline or ETC estimate. You can use the same base estimate for more than one apportioned estimate. You cannot base an apportioned estimate on another apportioned estimate.
An apportioned estimate has the following characteristics:
It has the same start and complete dates as the base estimate.
The values are calculated using the same estimate type and estimate curve as the base estimate.
Any changes made to the base estimate are automatically propagated in the apportioned estimate.
Apportioned estimates are displayed towards the bottom of the list of
resource estimates for each WBS element, just before any replan estimates.
They are flagged with a percent ()
symbol next to the resource code.
To create an apportioned estimate, complete the following steps:
Select the base estimate from the baseline (or ETC) window and do one of the following:
Click

Select a department from the drop-down list box.
Enter an overtime multiplier or reference code if appropriate.
For more information on using the Overtime field, see Using the Overtime Field.
Enter the percentage of the base estimate that is to be used to create the apportioned estimate values.
To have MPM calculate the estimates, click
