Use the Enter Cost Progress form to update cost progress for control accounts or work packages using progress entries if you are the assignee for the control accounts or work packages or if you are part of the Progress Admin Group (set on the Progress tab in System Settings). The form provides Control Account Managers (CAMs) with a single entry point to view and submit progress updates to cost data.
Updates are approved using workflow and scheduled alerts, which implement the process by notifying the persons responsible that they need to update progress or approve submitted progress updates. This process is performed before data is updated in the cost system integrated with PM Compass.
The manner in which you update a cost system forecast depends on the source system:
If you use schedule progress to update the actual start/finish date, percent complete, and so on for an activity, you will need to use a Forecast Change Request to change the cost system forecast.
If the source system that you are updating is a cost system, you can use the Enter Progress view to update a forecast.
After cost progress is approved, there are a number of steps you should perform. See Steps to Run After Cost Progress is Approved for more information.
The Enter/Approve Cost Progress Navigation menu options under Projects provide an easy way for you to access progress for master projects. Another way you can do this is to select a project from the Projects List View. For more information, see Master Projects.
