Hi,
We use the Project Estimates functionality now in D365 however, we're having some difficulty in achieving absolute autonomy as the split of categories .
The way the Estimate behaves, if it sees Actual costs greater than the Forecast cost, it inflates the calculated forecast cost (See below)
| Actual cost | Forecast cost |
Calculated Forecast Cost |
|
| Item | 1,000 | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| Expense | 3,000 | 4,000 | 4,000 |
| Hours | 1,200 | 200 | 1,200 |
| Total | 5,200 | 5,200 | 6,200 |
Even setting the setup to "Forecast - Actual" , if your scenario is 200 - 1,200 the result isn't -1,000 as you'd expect, it rounds it up.
We have other issues because the production consumption method won't work - but that's another story for another day.
I am pretty sure I've exhausted every combination setup of Cost Template and so on but the fact that calculation means that you cannot just set the template at a total level, seems to be the restriction.
So, in the above example I want: 5,200 / 5,200 = 100%
Instead the system does: 5,200 / 6,200 = 83.8%
Hope this makes sense but would really appreciate again if anyone else has encountered the same or has resolved this with any development... would make a significant time saving for us.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
