Costpoint compares the amount entered on the Manage Total Ceilings screen to the sum of all revenue recognized for the fiscal year up to and including the current period being calculated in the project revenue ledger.

This sum of YTD revenue is subtracted from the amount entered on the Total Ceil screen of the Project User Flow to arrive at an amount of YTD revenue not yet recognized. The revenue ledger is updated with this amount. Prior year revenue from the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen is subtotaled and added to YTD revenue to arrive at an Inception-to-Date (ITD) revenue amount. Costpoint compares this ITD number to either the total contract ceiling or the funded value ceiling.

If ITD revenue exceeds the total project ceiling, the amount over the ceiling is posted to the owning organization in the subperiod being calculated as an over-the-ceiling amount. This reduces revenue to the ceiling amount.
