Screen Elements
Display list
The cost viewing options: Units or Cost. The capability to view costs is dependent on your security privileges. If you do not have access to costs data and you select the Costs option, no data appears.
By default, actual units and costs are spread evenly across the time period from the Actual Start to the Data Date, or Actual Finish if there is one. A Global Preference setting lets you choose to view actuals values based on data stored for custom financial periods (past period actuals). When you choose this option, actual units and costs are spread evenly across the dates defined for each financial period. When this option is turned on, under/over allocated values are also calculated based on the stored period data for actual units. Additionally, the histogram legend indicates that Period Actual Units or Costs are being displayed.
