Contract Breakdown Chart

The Contract Breakdown chart provides a visual for the contract's labor, expenses, and consultants amounts for the WBS element that is selected on the grid.

Contents

As you select different WBS rows on the Contract grid, amounts on the Breakdown chart update to reflect the data from the grid.

You can hover over or tap a bar on the chart to see the respective amount.

The Budget Type option on the Plan Settings dialog box allows you to specify how you want to view the plan's amounts, at billing, at cost, or both. After you select the budget type, there are Billing and/or Cost options that display to indicate how you are viewing your plan. If both options display, you can switch between them and the contract's amounts, chart information, and grid details will update to reflect your selection. The Contract page is different from other Navigator Planning pages because if you are using Vision Multicurrency, when you can switch between these options you will view the contract amounts in the plan's billing currency or project (cost) currency. If you are not using Vision Multicurrency, the contract amounts do not change when you switch between billing and cost.

If your firm uses Vision Multicurrency, the currency in use is indicated next to the Billing and Cost options. For example, Billing (USD) displays if you are viewing the plan at billing and in U.S. dollars. The Project Currency is always used when viewing projects and plans at cost. The currency used when viewing projects and plans at billing is determined by a Vision Configuration setting that your system administrator selects. See the Use Project and Billing Currencies online help topic for more information on currencies.

Note: The Accounting tab in Configuration > Security > Roles determines your access rights to labor costs rates and amounts in Navigator. When you select the Cost option, some information may not display because of your security access. See the Security Settings and Labor Cost Amounts online help topic for more information.
