Estim. budget progress init.

This parameter is used when calculating the estimated progress of a project budget automatically.

ESTPRGMET - Bud/proj progress estimation method parameter (TC chapter, PJM group). You use this parameter to define if the estimated progress of a budget is entered as a percentage manually, or calculated automatically.

The estimated progress of a project budget can be calculated automatically on demand by clicking a Refresh icon in the cost structure.

When clicked, the Refresh icon "requests" a value for the Estimated progress (%) (PRCCPL) field. However, before this value can be calculated the Estimated progress (%) field must be initialized. You use this parameter to define the SQL query that is to be executed to initialize the Estimated progress (%) field when the project budget progress percentage is refreshed.

• PJMPRGB3 - Estimated budget progress (STD) calculates the estimated progress percentage of a project budget by comparing the sum of actuals against the provisional cost price (as defined in the project Financial status section).
  PJMPRGB3 is defined as the default value for this parameter but can be changed to execute PJMPRGB2, or PJMPRGB by default.
• PJMPRGB2 - Estimated operation/budget progress (STD) calculates the estimated progress percentage of a project budget by comparing the sum of consumed load against planned load for the labor task operations.
• PJMPRGB - Estimated budget progress (STD) calculates the estimated progress percentage of a project budget by comparing the sum of expenses against the budget amount (as defined in the project Financial status section).
