Accurate Forecasting for Commitment Cash
flows- Business Problem

Accurate forecast for Commitment Cash flows-
Details
 Hybrid mode combining Auto and Manual distribution.
 Allow for manual editing of auto distributed data with auto distribution
of Unassigned Amount.
– Achieved by providing a temporary manual override option on
forecast curves when the distribution option is set to auto.
– Any Unassigned amount created because of incoming Spends will
be redistributed automatically. This rule is honored provided there is
no prior Unassigned amount left over due to manual distribution.

Consolidated EFC using
Summary Curves

 As a Cost Engineer, there is a need
to have a default summary of all
commitments and trends for a
project to be able to have an
interactive updated EFC (Estimated
Forecast at Complete).
Solutions
Consolidated EFC- Business Problem

Commitments ,trends etc.
are modeled as different
BPs within Unifier

“Future commit” records
“SAP commitment” reco
Cash flow record is
created corresponding to
each BP record

 Commitments ,trends etc. are modeled as different BPs within Unifier
 Cash flow curve family corresponding to each BP record has been
created
 To get an overall EFC, these curves have to be summarized.
Consolidated EFC- Business Problem

New Summary tab in Properties

Default Summary
curve automatically
created

Auto Summarizes
across data sources
from all Active curves
in the Project

Summary curves can now display
details at the WBS levels

 Need advanced filtering capabilities
on Summary Curve by following
parameters
WBS selected by users : As
Projects are split into several work
packages, a set of WBS
represents each work-package.
There is a need to be able to
customize the summary curve by
selecting a set of WBS.
Solutions
Summary Curves- Business Problem

i. By period : As Projects could
last several years, and as
budgets are approved on a
yearly basis, there is a need to
customize the summary curve
by time range..
Solutions

i. By Curve type : As the
summary curve is consolidated
by curve type, there is a need
to be able to customize the
summary curve by curve type :
commitments, trends, forecasts
etc.
Solutions

New- filtering
capability on Summary
curves

Filtering on
1) Curve types
2) Time scales
3) WBS/Summary

Using Unifier to Cash flow
P6 Schedules

 Need to project cash flow
for a cost loaded
schedule to analyze cost
expenditure over a period
of time
 Compare multiple
Baselines graphically
Solutions
Cost Loaded Schedule- Business Problem
Unifier
P6

Cost Loaded Schedule - Details
 P6->Unifier
– Cost loaded Schedule within P6
– Baseline and Forecasts from P6
– Actuals captured within Unifier

Cost Loaded Schedule– Cash Flow
 Cost Spreads within P6 sent to Unifier Schedule
Sheet
 Costs and Dates from the Schedule then used to
define Budget curve
 Invoices and Forecasts generated within Unifier
provide indication of project Cash Flow performance
P6 Project Unifier Schedule Sheet
Unifier Cash Flow

Cost Loaded Schedule- Implementation
 Cost info in P6 comes into Unifier Schedule Manager
 Define Cashflow at “BY WBS”
– In Unifier you can choose the schedule sheet
 Baseline ( Configure 1 schedule sheet within Unifier to bring in
Baseline)
 Forecast ( Configure 2nd schedule sheet within Unifier to bring in
Forecast)
 .

Setting Up Cash flow in Unifier

• Setup multiple data
sources corresponding
to each baseline
• Compare and contrast
the baselines
graphically
Viewing Cash flow in Unifier

 Project Managers do a good job
planning, scheduling &
resourcing but need help from
cost engineers to input financial
and costing data and build cash
flows
