The time-phased forecast data can be viewed on the Time-Phasing tab. For time-phased projects, ensure all errors are resolved before the forecast variance is submitted for approval.
If the Delta Cost has a green background, then Refresh Time-Phased Forecast calculated the object’s Time-Phased Cost successfully. If the Delta Cost column has a red background, however, this indicates that the Time-Phased Cost did not calculate correctly due to issues with user-entered values. To help guide the user in correcting the values, fields utilized in the calculation of the time-phased values for the object in error will have a green background.
You can submit the forecast variance for approval if Total Quantity or Total Hours does not match the object’s Total Time-Phased Quantity or Total Time-Phased Hours, but the Time-Phased Cost must always match with the Total Cost.
