Define Cost/Revenue Element Settings

Explanation

This activity is used to define the number of periods per Cost/Revenue Element that the spread amount will be offset by, when copying the cost and revenue spread amounts from project forecast items to a project cash forecast.

If 0 or no value is entered in Cash Spread Offset Periods, the spread will be copied to the same period in the cash forecast as in the project forecast. If 1 is entered, the spread will be copied to the period following the period of the project forecast spread. Only 0 or positive whole numbers are allowed.

The value entered is valid for the company but can be overridden per project by entering a value in Cash Spread Offset Periods Override in the PCE Code Part tab in the Project Setup Parameters page.

Prerequisites

Cost/revenue elements must be defined for the company.

System Effects

The number of offset periods is defined per cost/revenue element for a company and will be used when copying spread amounts from a project forecast to a project cash forecast.
