EAC Analysis Report Overview

This report helps you to determine the feasibility of your Estimated at Completion (EAC). You must have access rights to the Cost Analysis reports and the EAC Analysis report to see this report from the Reports section, or be given access to a dashboard with this report as a dashpart. The data that the EAC Analysis report displays is based on a control account or work package that is selected from the Cost Analysis form. It also allows you to select multiple control accounts or work packages. This report uses the master calendar.

Using this report, you can complete the following tasks:

• Run the EAC Analysis report at direct cost or total currency

• Select an EAC cost set

• Use four statistical EACs

Filtering the Data

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.

For more information, see Modify Standard Reports and Specifying Criteria vs. Specific Records (Values).

Master Projects

If you select a master project in Project Search (<Report> Search dialog box), when the report runs, data for all subprojects related to the selected master project displays on the report.

The cost sets that are used (displayed on the Table Columns tab of the Options dialog box) are from the master project. You don't need to define the cost sets in each subproject. When you run the report, only the classes in the master project for the cost sets you have selected will be retrieved from each subproject. For example, if you select a cost set on the Table Columns tab that includes a budget class, when you run the report, it only retrieves the budget class data from each subproject.

Reports using master projects use the master calendar.

To display the data by project, group by Project on the Sorting/Grouping tab.

Report Options

You can use the Options dialog box to customize the report. Click in the Options column to display the EAC Analysis Options dialog box which includes the following tabs:

• Use the General tab to rename a report and select workflow to display.

• Use the Sorting/Grouping tab to specify the sequence in which data displays on the report.

• Use the Layout tab to set the font, margins, orientation, page size, and other formatting options for the report.

All tabs on the Options dialog box share some common options and buttons.
