Project Planning Performance Columns Tab

Use the Columns tab to select or clear columns, change column sequence, provide new column labels, set column widths, or select number and date formats.

For each plan, Vision provides a summary section. The contents of those sections depend on the following:

  • Which column the data corresponds to (Planned, Baseline, or EAC).

  • Whether you select Billing or Cost in For Plans Budgeted at Cost and Billing, use on the Options tab.

Field Description
Resource

For labor, this column displays the employee number or the generic resource identifier.

For consultants and expenses, this column displays the account name.

Vendor Name This column displays the name of the vendor associated with expenses.
Planned This column displays the planned hours or amount.
JTD This column displays the actual job-to-date hours or amount.
ETC This column displays the estimate-to-complete (ETC) hours or amount. This is the estimate of the remaining planned hours or amount relative to tomorrow forward. The ETC is calculated based on the application, Vision or Navigator, in which the plan was created. See the How Planning Calculates ETC online help topic for additional information.
EAC This column displays the estimate at completion (EAC) hours or amount. This is the current estimate of the total amount or the number of hours that will have been spent or worked at the completion of the plan. Vision calculates the estimate at completion hours or amount as follows: JTD + ETC.
Baseline This column displays the hours or amount in the baseline version of the plan.
Plan – EAC This column displays the variance between the planned hours or amount and the estimate-at-completion hours or amount.
Planned Revenue This column displays the planned revenue.
JTD Revenue This column displays the actual job-to-date revenue.
Plan – JTD This column displays the variance between the planned hours or amount and the job-to-date hours or amount.
Baseline – JTD This column displays the variance between the hours or amount in the baseline version of the plan and the job-to-date hours or amount.
Effective Multiplier

This column displays the effective multiplier for cost or billing.

Vision calculates the effective multiplier for cost as follows:

(Job-to-date revenue – Job-to-date expense cost – Job-to-date consultant cost) / Job-to-date labor cost

Vision calculates the effective multiplier for billing as follows:

(Job-to-date revenue – Job-to-date expense billing – Job-to-date consultant billing) / Job-to-date labor billing

The report displays this multiplier only in the total line for each plan. It is not displayed for detail lines.

EAC Multiplier

This column displays the estimate at completion multiplier for cost or billing.

Vision calculates this multiplier for cost as follows:

((Compensation fee + Consultant fee + Reimbursable allowance) – (Estimate at completion expense cost + Estimate at completion consultant cost)) / Estimate at completion labor cost

Vision calculates this multiplier for billing as follows:

((Compensation fee + Consultant fee + Reimbursable allowance) – (Estimate at completion expense billing + Estimate at completion consultant billing)) / Estimate at completion labor billing

The report displays this multiplier only in the total line for each plan. It is not displayed for detail lines.

Budget Multiplier

This column displays the estimate at budget multiplier for cost or billing.

Vision calculates this multiplier for cost as follows:

Compensation fee / Estimate at completion cost

Vision calculates this multiplier for billing as follows:

Compensation Fee / Estimate at completion billing

The report displays this multiplier only in the total line for each plan. It is not displayed for detail lines.

Planned Multiplier

This column displays the planned multiplier for cost or billing.

Vision calculates this multiplier for cost as follows:

(Compensation + Consultant fee + Reimbursable allowance) - (Direct expenses + Reimbursable expenses) / Planned labor cost

Vision calculates this multiplier for billing as follows:

(Compensation + Consultant fee + Reimbursable allowance) - (Direct expenses + Reimbursable expenses) / Planned labor billing

The report displays this multiplier only in the total line for each plan. It is not displayed for detail lines.

The planned multiplier helps you evaluate how much revenue a plan will return per unit of labor cost or billing.

Target Multiplier

This column displays the organization's target multiplier for cost or billing.

The report displays this multiplier only in the total line for each plan. It is not displayed for detail lines.
