There are three types of cash flow curves that can be defined at the project or shell level:
Calculation: This option generates the curve based on sigma and mu values. You can also create a curve that is a blend of manual and calculation type by creating a calculation curve with the option of entering values manually. This allows you to plot graphs based on manually entered forecast information, but starting at the end of actual values. (Select the Manual entry intermediate points option on the Options tab.) This option also allows you to force manually entered numbers to the foot to column in the cost sheet.
Data from Cost Sheet column: This option generates curves based on cost sheet column data. If you select this option, the Select drop-down menu is enabled. Click Select and choose one of the cost sheet columns listed. The selection list will include columns whose data sources are business processes or formula columns based on BPs (for example, total spends or total commits). Manual entry cost sheet columns are not listed.
Manual Entry: This option generates the curve based on data that you have manually entered in the cash flow sheet at the project or shell level or WBS level. If you choose this option, click the Details button to input start and end dates for the curve.
Note: Cash flow curves can be rolled up to the program and company level.
