Extension (tpptc0110s000)

Use this session to maintain the extensions you need for your fixed contract project. An extension is almost a project in itself and is generally used to invoice unexpected costs to the customer.

The revenue recognition method and the cost of goods sold method is defined at the project and extension level. RR and COGS can also be determined at the element and activity level depending on the method of RR and COGS selected.

The amount approved for invoicing is displayed next to the Ceiling check box. For projects with invoicing types set to Unit Rate, the amount is updated while transferring transactions from the Invoicing module to the Invoicing package.

For projects with invoicing type set to Cost Plus, the amount is updated when the transactions are approved for invoicing.

Revenue Recognition Method

Select the method for revenue recognition.

To recognize revenue, you can use one of the following methods:

Revenue Recognition Limit

The limit on the revenue to be recognized. Specify a maximum percentage.

Note

The value can be changed. The revenue recognition limit is valid for all RR methods except the Completed Project method. The percentage times the contract amount gives the maximum revenue that can be recognized (until the completion of the project). This percentage is ignored when the project is complete and the final revenue (and COGS) is posted.

Default value

100

Revenue Recognition Threshold

The minimum percentage completion expected before revenue is recognized.

Note

Only if the percentage completion is greater than or equal to this field, revenue is recognized when interim results are generated using the Generate Interim Results (tpppc3250m000) session. However, if the Profit Percentage is negative, revenue will be recognized irrespective of minimum percentage completion being met or not.

Default value

0

Percentage of Completion

The percentage of completion of the project. You must multiply this percentage with the contract amount to calculate the revenue to be recognized.

Note

The percentage of completion has to be entered manually, since the Estimate at Completion (EAC) is not defined for an extension.

This field is available only if the Revenue Recognition Method field is set to Percent Complete.

Earned Revenue Factor

Specify the earned revenue factor. You must multiply this factor with the the cost to calculate the revenue to be recognized.

Note

You can manually enter the earned revenue factor or click Calculate to get the calculated value. LN calculates the factor using the following formula:

ERF = project contract amount / total budgeted costs

To calculate ERF, the project status must be Active, because the total budgeted cost is known only for active projects.

This field is available only if the Revenue Recognition Method field is set to Earned Revenue Factor.

Cost Interim Results
Costs of Goods Sold Method

Select the method to calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS).

To calculate the cost of goods sold, you can use one of the following methods:

Profit Percentage

Specify the profit percentage. The COGS is calculated on the basis of this percentage and the revenue recognized.

Note

You can manually enter the percentage or click Calculate to get the calculated value. LN calculates the percentage using the following formula:

profit percentage = budget / contract amount

This field is available only if the Costs of Goods Sold Method field is set to Profit Percentage.

 

Calculate

ERF = project contract amount / total budgeted costs

To calculate ERF, the project status has to be Active, because the total budgeted cost is known only for active projects.
