A maintenance planner needs to see the cost of work over
a period to ensure that the department is not over budget. For example,
the monthly maintenance cost for a certain location must not exceed
$10,000.
Procedure
- In the Graphical Scheduling application, open the record
that you want to view costs for.
- In the Start Week Day field, select
the day of the week that should be considered starting day for work
cost calculations. Weekly work costs will calculate from this day
forward.
- On the Work Cost tab, enter the
date that you want the cost calculation to begin on. Click Calculate
Cost.
- In the Work Cost table on the Week, Month,
or Year tab, open the time period that you
want to view costs for.
The totals are broken down into
three categories.
- Committed estimated total
- The total cost of the work scheduled during the time period and
committed to the database. The committed cost is saved in the work
record applications.
- Saved estimated total
- The total cost of the work scheduled during the time period that
was saved to the schedule. The saved cost is not saved to the work
record applications.
- Actual total
- The total cost of the scheduled work incurred during the time
period.
The schedule costs do not include costs from
PM records.
If no work costs were accrued during a certain time period, for example,
during a weekly shutdown, no calculation is calculated.
You
can also view the schedule costs graphically. The Schedule
Costs tab in the Gantt view shows the schedule costs over
the entire work period covered in the schedule.
