Rules for Calculating Projected Final Units (HU)

The system compares PC from the header account to the Threshold % Complete field on the Job Master Revisions form to determine the calculation for HU:

• If PC is less than the threshold percent, the system uses the RBLU as HU.

• If PC is greater than or equal to the threshold percent, and you force projected final units (FU), the system calculates HU using the formula RBLU + FU.

• If PC is greater than or equal to the threshold percent and you do not force projected final units (FU), the system calculates HU based on performance factor units that it calculates using earned value units:

  • Earned value units = PC (calculated from the header account) * revised budget labor hours (sum of RBLU for detail accounts).

    For example, if the task is earthwork, and the percent complete is 40, and the revised budget labor hours (RBLU) are 230, the earned value units = 92.

  • Performance factor units = actual labor units (summarized) / earned value unit.

    For example, if the task is earthwork, and the actual labor units (AU) = 150, and the earned value units = 92, the performance factor for units = 1.63.

  • HU = RBLU * performance factor units.

    Using the values from the previous examples, HU = 230 (RBLU) * 1.63 (performance factor units) or 374.9.
