Use this screen to enter, revise, and report hours required to complete ongoing projects. Additionally, you can update incurred hours on their ETCs with inception-to-date actual hours from the labor history. To use budgeted hours as estimate-at-completion values, update this screen with values entered on the Manage Project Total Budget screen. An in-depth step-by-step instruction guide is provided as part of the "Estimate to Complete" topic.
In this maintenance screen, you can enter and maintain the estimate to complete, the Latest Revised Estimate at Completion (LREAC), or the percent complete at the project/PLC level. By entering any one of these components, the other two components are automatically calculated. The following is a summarization of the calculations that the screen performs:
ETC = LREAC - Incurred
LREAC = Incurred + ETC
Pct Complete = Incurred/LREAC
Run the Update Incurred Cost for ETC screen before using this screen to update the incurred costs and hours with actuals. If ETCs are based on budgeted hours, run the Compute Estimate to Complete screen as well. Then, as estimates for individual PLCs change, make the modifications in this screen.
Enter a project or click to select one. The non-editable field to the right displays the project description.
This non-editable field displays the date that incurred hours were updated for this project. When you run the Update Incurred Cost for ETC screen, the update date is written to the ETC Update table. This date is displayed here.
This non-editable field displays the date that estimates to complete were updated based on budgeted information for this project on the Compute Estimate to Complete screen. When you run the Compute Estimate to Complete screen, the update date is written to the ETC Update table. This date is displayed here.
All fields in this group box are non-editable. To modify the data displayed, you must modify information entered in the table window.
The total incurred hours for all PLCs are summed here.
The total estimate-to-complete hours for all PLCs are summed here.
The total LREAC hours for all PLCs are summed here.
The overall percent complete for all PLCs on this project is displayed here.
The total previously estimated hours for all PLCs are summed here.

Enter a PLC or click to select one.
This non-editable field displays the description of the PLC.
This non-editable field displays the cumulative actual hours incurred for this project and labor category.
Enter the estimate-to-complete hours for this PLC. The hours may have been calculated for you by the Compute Estimate to Complete screen if you elected to update ETCs based on subtracting actual incurred from budgets. When you enter the hours, Costpoint recalculates the Latest Revised Estimate At Completion (LREAC) by adding Incurred and Est-to-Compl.
Enter the LREAC hours for this PLC. These hours may have been calculated for you by the Compute Estimate to Complete screen if you elected to update ETCs based on subtracting actual incurred from budgets. When you enter the hours, Costpoint recalculates the Est-to-Compl hours by subtracting Incurred from LREAC. The formula is: LREAC = Incurred + ETC.
Enter the percent complete for this PLC. These hours may have been calculated for you by the Compute Estimate to Complete screen if you elected to update ETCs by subtracting actual incurred from budgets. When you enter a percent, Costpoint recalculates the LREAC by dividing Incurred by % Compl, and recalculates the Est-to-Compl hours by subtracting Incurred from LREAC.
This non-editable field displays the previous estimate-at-completion hours updated by the Compute Estimate to Complete screen. The utility copies the previous hours to this field before updating with the new EAC hours.
This non-editable field displays the previous percent complete based on the previous estimate.
This non-editable field displays the total budget in hours for this Project and PLC from the Manage Project Total Budget screen.
This non-editable field displays the last time this PLC was updated with new ETC hours, LREAC hours, or % Compl.
