Entering Government Report Data

The MPM government-required reports contain data which is not tracked by MPM. You must enter these values separately. You can enter values for the Header, Threshold, Variance, and COM data on the Headers/Thresholds dialog. However, some of the values for the C/SSR and CPR reports that display on the Headers/Thresholds dialog are derived from the Program Log. See Special Guidelines in this topic for additional details.

To set up government-required reports, complete the following steps:

1. On the Menu Manager with the Reports tab showing, double-click the desired government-required report. MPM displays the Report Conditioning window for the report you selected.

2. Click the icon next to the Project drop-down list box. You can also access the Headers dialog from the Tools menu of the Project Maintenance window. MPM displays the Header dialog. All necessary values for the selected report are shown.

3. In the Value column, enter the Header, Variance and any other data necessary for this government report. The drop-down list box at the top shows the selected report.

Special Guidelines

• The values that display on the Headers dialog are saved with the project. You can then use those values repeatedly on multiple reports. The values display as the default when requesting reports that use them.

• If exporting CPR 1 through CPR 4 reports via the UN/CEFACT format refer to the MPM Standard Reports CPR 1 through CPR 4 sections for required entries in the Type field.

• If MPM’s Program Log is used in your organization, the values derived from the Program Log take precedence over values entered on the Headers dialog. When changes to previously recorded Program Log values are made on the Headers window, the changes appear only on the report currently being generated and are not saved with the project. If your organization is not using the Program Log, all values entered on the Headers dialog are saved with the project.

• If your organization uses the Program Log to record contract date, we recommend that changes to the values shown on the Headers dialog be made using the Program Log so as to maintain its accuracy.

• The values recorded on the Program Log are shown on the Headers dialog when you prepare to generate a C/SSR or CPR report. The following table lists the values in each report that are derived from the Program Log:
