Common Fields Used in This Chapter

Ref No (reference number)

Enter the number to use to group and identify associated accounts for field progress changes.

You can control this number with a field.

MC (method of computation)

Enter the method of computation to use to calculate the percent complete and the projected final amounts and units for an account. The method of computation that you enter is a hard-coded value from user-defined code (UDC) table (51/MC).

+/– Actual Units

Enter the number by which you want to change the actual unit quantity. For example, to increase the number of units by 50, enter 50. To decrease the number of units by 50, enter –50. The system updates the AU ledger with the change that you enter and displays it on the form.

Force +/– Units

Enter the number of units by which you want to change the projected final unit. For example, to increase the number of units by 50, enter 50. To decrease the number of units by 50, enter –50. The system stores the number that you enter in the FU ledger, changes the value in the Forced Total Units and Projected Final Units fields, and updates the HU ledger. The system displays this field only for computation methods A, F, G, L, O, Q, R, S, and T.

Force +/– Amount

Enter the amount by which you want to change the projected final amount. For example, to increase the amount 50, enter 50. To decrease the amount by 50, enter –50. The system stores the amount that you enter in the FA ledger, changes the value in the Forced Total Amount and Projected Final Amount fields, and updates the HA ledger. The system displays this field only for computation methods F, G, L, O, and S.

Force Total Units

Enter the total number of projected final units. The system stores the number that you enter in the FU ledger, changes the value in the Force +/– Units and Projected Final Units fields, and updates the HU ledger. The system displays this field only for computation methods A, F, G, L, O, Q, R, S and T.

Force Total Amount

Enter the total projected final amount. The system stores the amount that you enter in the FA ledger, changes the value in the Force +/– Amount and Projected Final Amount fields, and updates the HA ledger. The system displays this field only for computation methods F, G, L, O, and S.
