This activity updates the calculated estimates from your schedule of work estimate or schedule of work production to the selected project forecast. To achive this, use the Copy EAC to Project Forecast command in the Schedule of Work Value Summary or Work Recording Summary pages.
Cost and/or revenue values can be updated at the project level, sub-project level, or activity level, based on preference. The selection of the level is allowed only when sub-project or activity information is specified on all item lines of the Schedule of Work Estimate.
The calculated date of the schedule of work estimate should be within the range of the cut-off date of the selected project forecast.
When the schedule of work version is updated, it is possible to copy the updated cost and/or revenue values to the same project forecast multiple times. When copying the estimates to an already updated project forecast, changing the previously selected levels is not allowed.
The Copy EAC to Project Forecast command will not update the cost progress to the project forecast. To update the cost progress, use the Update Project Forecast Progress command in the Work Record Summary page.
Project Forecast item lines will be created based on calculated Cost/Revenue Element values.
