View ETC and Earned Value

Use this screen to perform an earned value inquiry or an Estimate to Complete (ETC) inquiry.

An earned value inquiry computes the value earned (your billing amount or profit depending on how Costpoint Project Setup was initialized) to date for this project. This amount may be higher or lower than the ETC. An ETC inquiry computes a project's ETC in dollars. For example, if the budget is $1,000 and the incurred-to-date (actual figures from the Projects folder) is $500, the ETC is $500 (the percentage complete is 50%, and the Latest Revised Estimate at Completion (LREAC) is $1000). However, if the project is over budget, the ETC may be higher.

Before running an inquiry, execute the Update Incurred Costs for Project Budgets screen for the selected project, and all project levels below the selected project.
