ETC and JTD Date Basis Dialog Box

You can configure how to use the Estimate to Complete (ETC) and Job to Date (JTD) dates when you calculate these numbers for your plan. This setting is specific to plans that contain your user name.

The Estimate to Complete amount is the sum of all planned numbers whose dates are greater than the date basis. For example, if the date basis is today, the Estimate to Complete is the sum of all planned numbers whose dates are tomorrow and beyond.

The Job to Date amount is the sum of all actual numbers whose dates are less than or equal to the date basis. For example, if the date basis is today, the Job to Date is the sum of all actual numbers whose dates are today or prior to today.
