This column is important for determining how much of your project's compensation is for direct expenses and how much is for labor. It displays even when Expenses Planning is not enabled and has different functionality depending on if your project has a Navigator plan or a Vision plan.
When the project has a Navigator plan, you can use this column to indicate how much of the WBS element's compensation is either direct expenses or indirect expenses.
- If expenses are not planned on the Expenses page, you can enter an amount in this field.
- If expenses are planned on the Expenses page, you can use the
Fill button to populate the column. This copies the direct or indirect expenses planned amounts entered on the Expenses planning page into this column for the planned WBS level. You can then modify these amounts directly in the column, as needed. If amounts were not planned at the project's lowest WBS level, the amounts are spread to lower levels.
Note: If the
Project Fee Entering Method in Vision is set to
At All Levels, and the
Expenses Planning Level is set to
Project, and the project has associated phases and tasks, or if the
Expenses Planning Level is set to Phase and the phase has associated tasks, Navigator cannot spread the amounts in this column. See the Spread Expense Amounts on Contract Grid online help topic for more information.
When the project has one or more Vision plans, this column displays the planned direct expenses if
Compensation
is set to include labor and direct expenses in the For Vision plans viewed in Navigator, compensation equals:
setting in
. The calculation is as follows:
Compensation = Direct Expense Contract + Labor Contract
Amounts entered in this column do not change Planned amounts on the Expenses planning grid. However, as you enter these amounts, the Labor column on this page and the Contract Breakdown and Contract Calculations charts update immediately without requiring a refresh or save.
Note: For Regular projects, the sum of the amounts in this column, plus the amounts in the Reimb. Expenses column, display in the Contract column on the Expenses planning grid. For Overhead and Promotional projects, this column's amounts display in the Contract column on the Expenses planning grid.

|

when the project is a Regular charge type. The amount represents the direct consultant contract amount.
This column only displays when Consultant Planning is enabled in
. It is hidden for Promotional or Overhead project types.
Note: The sum of the amounts in this column plus the amounts in the Reimb. Consultants column display in the Contract column on the Consultants planning grid. You can compare this information to the Direct Consultants Planned, Direct Consultants EAC, and Direct Consultants Baseline amounts on that grid.

| Reimb. Expenses
|
This non-editable column displays the planned reimbursable expense amount for each WBS element on the Expenses planning grid when the project is a Regular charge type. This amount represents the reimbursable expense contract amount.
This column only displays when Expense Planning is enabled in
. It is hidden for Promotional or Overhead project types.
Note: The sum of the amounts in this column plus the amounts in the Direct Expenses column displays in the Contract column on the Expenses planning grid.

| Reimb. Allowance
|
This non-editable column displays the project's reimbursable allowance amount for each WBS element that is entered on the Budget & Revenue tab in
when the project is a Regular charge type.
This column only displays when Expense Planning and Consultant Planning are enabled in
. It is hidden for Promotional or Overhead project types.
When a WBS element's Reimb. Allowance amount does not equal the sum of the row's Reimb. Expenses and Reimb. Consultants columns, a red flag displays in the corner of the cell. Navigator checks each WBS row amount and displays a flag on all rows that meet this criteria. This provides a quick way to identify WBS elements where the planned reimbursables are greater than the reimbursable allowance.
