Program Logs provide a synergistic link between budget data and the internal control procedures and practices that implement budget changes. The logs are used to record total budget and all customer-directed changes that affect the baseline. Changes are identified as negotiated changes or authorized unpriced updates. Program Logs contain the status of the Management Reserve (MR) and Undistributed Budget (UB). To create program logs, you use the Program Log window.
If your project requires submittal of the government reports C/SSR, CPR, or NASA, you can create and maintain program logs to satisfy control and auditability requirements for government contracting.
MPM uses the values you enter in the Program Logs to perform calculations, which in combination with header values you also enter, result in computed fields displayed on the C/SSR, CPR and NASA report headers.
Program logs are described in Maintaining the Program Log.
