Enter Contract Compensation Amounts for Units

On the Contract tab of the Plan form, use the unit contract columns to specify which portion of a compensation amount is used for units.

You can only specify unit contract amounts for regular or promotional charge type projects in companies that can plan units. Your system administrator determines whether or not the unit contract columns are available for the plan.

To enter compensation amounts for units:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Hubs > Projects > Plan.
  2. On the Plan form, select the regular or promotional project for which you want to enter contract amounts for units.
  3. Click the Contract tab.
  4. On the Actions bar, click Check Out.
  5. In the upper-right corner of the Contract planning grid, click .
  6. On the Grid Settings dialog box, select any or all of the following unit contract columns in the Available Columns list and then click Apply.
    • Units Labor
    • Units Direct or Indirect Expenses
    • Units Direct Consultants
    • Units Reimbursable Expenses
    • Units Reimbursable Consultants
  7. On the Contract tab, expand the work breakdown structure (WBS) levels and then select the row in which you want to enter unit contract amounts.
  8. Enter the amount in the unit contract column of the WBS row.

    As you enter amounts in the unit contract columns, Vantagepoint reduces the amounts in the corresponding standard compensation columns to match the total compensation amount on the Contract Management form.

    You can either enter amounts at all levels of the work breakdown structure or only at the lowest level, depending on the selected Project Entering Method in Settings > Project > Contract Management. The maximum unit contract amount that you can enter is the amount in the corresponding standard compensation column. If you use multiple currencies, note the currency in use for the plan amounts.

  9. If you want to publish your changes, click Publish on the Actions bar.
