If you are working on large projects, the time it takes MPM to calculate rollup values can slow down data entry. MPM gives you the option of turning off rollup processing. After you have entered the data, you can turn rollup processing back on and MPM will calculate and update all rollup figures.
There are two types of rollup processing: EOC and Summary. The EOC rollup controls all onscreen summaries. The Summary option controls summaries for Proposal Summary Reports only.
If you turn the EOC rollup option off, it has the following effects:
The WBS element summaries and WBS column totals will not be updated.
The following utilities will be unavailable:
Date Shift
Estimate Reprice
Estimate Adjust
Estimate Rename
Calculate BCWP
WBS Leg Utilites
The Summary option is disabled.
The Rollup Processing dialog box displays a message next to the option indicating when it was set to off.
If you turn the Summary option off, it has the following effects:
Summary records are not available in the following reports:
Proposal Summary Report by WBS
Proposal Summary Report by CLIN
Labor/Price Summary by WBS
Labor/Price Summary by CLIN
Resource Department Summary
The Rollup Processing dialog box displays a message next to the option indicating when it was set to off.
You can choose to rebuild estimates, actuals, or both. If you turn on the EOC or Summary option after they have been off, MPM automatically calculates and rebuilds the values for these options when you choose OK.
To set the Rollup Processing options, complete the following steps:
Select a project.
Click Tools » Rollup Processing. MPM displays the Rollup Processing dialog box.
Select the appropriate options and click OK.
