user plans at and maintains a default EV method.

11. Building an Estimate at Completion (EAC)
Functionality Overview - Automatically create EAC (forecasts)
The concept of an EAC is Actual costs plus
remaining plan. The functionality allows for

information. The data for the EAC comes from
the snapshot data which allows creation of an
EAC based on data at any time in the past.
