Project Summary Financial Business Rules

Overview

The Project Summary page aggregates financial information from multiple UniPhi modules, primarily the Costs, Revenue, and Chart of Accounts (CoA) structures.

Financial values displayed in the summary are dynamically calculated based on:

• Phased Actuals

• Phased Forecasts

• Budget values

• Contracted values

• The Primary Chart of Accounts selected for the project

  
  

Most cost-related fields are driven by the configuration in:

Project Details > Primary Chart of Accounts > Project Cost CoA

Core Cost and Revenue Logic

Most cost-related fields are calculated using the Chart of Accounts selected in the Project Details configuration.

Column Name	Business Rule / Logic	Source Data
Project Actual Cost	Total phased actuals for all closed periods	Costs Tab (Actuals)
Project Forecast Cost	Total phased forecast values for all open periods	Costs Tab (Forecast)
Project Total Cost	Total contracted cost of the project	Costs Tab (Contracted View → Forecast column)
EAC Cost	Estimated cost at completion: Phased Actual + Forecast from the specified Cost CoA	Costs Tab
EAC Revenue	Estimated revenue at completion: Phased Actual + Forecast from the specified Revenue CoA	Revenue Tab

Profit and Margin Calculations

These fields are calculated dynamically based on the project’s budgeted and estimated financial performance.

Profit Budget

Profit Budget = Revenue Budget − Cost Budget

Profit Margin Budget

Profit Margin Budget = Profit Budget / Cost Budget

EAC Profit

EAC Profit = EAC Revenue − EAC Cost

EAC Profit Margin

EAC Profit Margin = EAC Profit / EAC Cost

Equity Metrics

Equity values are calculated using codes categorised as "Equity" at Code Level 2 within the Chart of Accounts.

Column	Business Rule
Equity Actual	Sum of phased actuals for codes categorised as Equity (Code Level 2)
Peak Equity Budget	Maximum value of the running total of phased budget for Equity code types
Peak Equity	Maximum value of the running total of Actual + Forecast for Equity code types

These values represent the maximum equity exposure across the project lifecycle.

Additional Columns and Project Details Fields

Additional financial fields have been added to the All Projects view and Project Details page to provide expanded financial visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Project Total Cost differ from Actual + Forecast?

Project Total Cost represents the contracted total value of the project.

If you need the current anticipated spend, including:

• variations

• updated forecasts

• estimated remaining costs refer to:

  
  

EAC Cost or the combined value of Project Actual + Forecast Cost.

Where do I change which accounts are used in these calculations?

Navigate to:

Project Details > Primary Chart of Accounts

From here you can configure:

• Project Cost Chart of Accounts

• Project Revenue Chart of Accounts

• Equity code mappings

  
  

These selections determine which accounts are included in the Project Summary calculations.
