in the Selection column to display the Control
Account Search Dialog Box.The Control Account Plan (CAP) report is a combination of the Control Account (CA) and Work Package (WP) columns, with time phased resources below each CA and WP record. The data is grouped by control account, work package, and resource. The resources are subtotaled at the Element of Cost level, therefore you need to make sure that you have element of cost correctly configured in PM Compass on the General tab of the Project Details view.
The CAP report is designed to meet the needs of a CAM. All of the information about a control account can be seen in a single report. This is a great report to run using the filter "CAM is me." It is not a good report to run for the entire project. The report can be very large for even a small project. The information is easy to consume using the collapse and expand features of the report; however, the large report requires a vast amount of resources to run. If you choose to run the report with too much data, it will fail. The exact support size is difficult to calculate. It depends on how many work packages are in the selected control accounts, the number of resource assignments in the work packages, and how long the work packages are (for example, how many time phased periods will be displayed).
For this reason, Deltek recommends that you create a filter that displays less than 100 control accounts on the report. In addition, if you choose more than just a few, you should create an archive and then view the archive. A report archive is created on the server instead of passing the report information to the client and rendering the report on the client. The report is produced faster and has less change of running out of resources.
This report uses the Element of Cost as a subtotal when resources are selected. The Location of Elements of Cost setting for the project is located in the Projects Form View on the General tab. Use this setting to specify whether the Element of Cost is defined at a level of the resource file or a code on the resource.
This detailed report contains a large amount of data. If you are producing
this report on a large project, you should consider filtering the report
by CAM or to specific control accounts to improve the performance. You
can specify either specific records or criteria when you define the filter
that the system uses when creating the report. Click
in the Selection column to display the Control
Account Search Dialog Box.
