With the Primavera Capital Planning (PCP), you receive a capital planning cash flow that shows the following curves in an S-curve display. This cash flow is an aggregate of these curves for all the projects in the scenario.
- Baseline
- Forecast
- Original Budget
- Shared Budget
- Approved Budget
- Actuals
Once projects are in operation and portfolio scenario sheets are set up, Unifier collects the curve data from the Cost Sheet in each project and produces the capital planning cash flow curves.
The produced cash flow curve contains a "shared" budget curve that shows the portfolio planner's proposed numbers for the project.
Project managers do not see the changes the portfolio planner makes on a portfolio scenario sheet. Instead, the project managers can include this curve on their cost worksheet, along with the forecast budget, or any other budget curve, in order to see the difference between the project numbers and the portfolio planner's proposed budget numbers.
To view the portfolio cash flow curve:
- Go to the All Projects tab and switch to User Mode.
- Open the project in which you want to see the cash flow curve.
- In the left Navigator, click Cost Manager > Cash Flow and open the cash flow in the right pane.
