How does this affect me?
This feature enables users to project forecast or budget to calculate percentage of completion instead of the current estimate at completion (EAC), giving steadier revenue, clearer insights, and easier audits.
Once enabled, this feature’s capabilities include:
- Using the original project estimate for PoC calculations: Delivers stable, predictable revenue without EAC-driven fluctuations.
- Anchoring revenue recognition to a fixed baseline: Improves transparency and boosts confidence in reported project financials.
- Reducing reliance on changing forecasts: Minimizes rework and exceptions during month-end close.
- Providing clear traceability from estimate to recognition: Strengthens audit readiness and compliance.
- Aligning revenue with initial project expectations: Enhances visibility into true project performance and profitability.
- Creating smoother revenue trends across reporting periods: Enables better executive decision-making and financial planning.
- Standardizing how teams evaluate project progress: Supports consistent financial processes across the organization.
