Helpful Hints
There are two methods to enter planned costs with transaction CJR2:
  • From the Planning Cost Elements/Activity Inputs Change: Overview screen, the amount entered will be spread across all periods following the period entered from the initial screen. For example, if period 9 is entered on the initial screen and the cost amount is 1,000,000, then system will spread 250,000 for periods 9 through 12 for a total of 1,000,000. The first part of this document outlines the steps to enter costs via the Planning Cost Elements/Activity Inputs Change: Overview screen. One important item to note is that changes can be made on the Planning Cost Elements/Activity Inputs Change: Period screen if edits are necessary after the costs are spread across all periods.
  • From the Planning Cost Elements/Activity Inputs Change: Period screen, amounts are entered for specific periods. For example, if period 9 is entered on the initial screen and the cost amount is 1,000,000, then the user can choose how to distribute the cost for the periods 9 through 12. The second part of this document outlines the steps to enter costs via the Planning Cost Elements/Activity Inputs Change: Period screen.
  • This functionality allows the user to create plans for a single WBS element for a desired time period (i.e. fiscal year) by fund, grant, and cost element. Once the plan is posted, planned vs. actual cost reports can be generated. As needed, detail plans can be created, modified, and utilized to meet project planning needs.
  • The R/O/C column in the field description tables below defines whether the field is required (R), optional (O), or conditional (C).
  • On certain screens you may have to scroll to view some data entry fields.
