Create Percent Complete Configurations for Projects

Create Percent Complete Configurations for Projects

  • Create and approve a billable project with a budget.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Revenue - Percent Complete
    domain in the Customer Contracts and Project Billing functional areas.
You can create configurations to automate the process of recognizing revenue as a percent complete of cost for your projects, and project plan phases and tasks. The configurations use project cost dimensions to source the:
  • Actual cost from journal entries or manual inputs.
  • Total estimated cost from billable project budgets or manual inputs.
Workday uses the actual cost and total estimated cost to calculate the percent complete by cost for your projects.

    Manage Percent Complete Configurations
    report.

  3. Complete the task:
    Option Description
    Estimated Cost Factor
    Select the estimated cost factor that matches the plan category on the associated project.
    When you select 1 of these options, Workday uses these calculations to determine the revenue recognized for the project to date:
    • Baseline
      : (Contract Value × Actual Project Cost to Date) ÷ Baseline Budget Cost
    • Estimated Budget
      : (Contract Value × Actual Project Cost to Date) ÷ Estimated Budget from Project Financials
    • Forecast
      : (Contract Value × Actual Project Cost to Date) ÷ (Actual Cost + Estimated Future Cost)
    Ledger Account
    Workday sources the actual costs from the ledger accounts you select.
    The available ledger accounts display based on the project hierarchy associated with the billable project.
    Dimension
    Select the dimensions that match the worktags on the associated journal.
    Values
    Displays only top-level phases when you select
