This article provides detailed explanations of the cost dashboards available in PPO:
Cost S-Curve
The S-Curve is an important but often overlooked and misunderstood project management tool. It shows cumulative costs expended over time for the duration of the project and is used to assist in the calculation of the project's cash flow and cost to complete. The key statistics give you a comparison view only displaying the costs of to the current date.
Please note that this dashboard can only be used on PPO instances that have month and year parameters on the cost entity as required fields.
Costs Dashboard
The Costs Dashboard is a graphical representation of the total budget, spent and other relevant key statistics for the costs across all the projects. The graphs on the dashboard change, based on the “Group By” fields selected on the dashboard criteria.
The Costs Dashboard combines the information, by using the report criteria, to show three sections on the dashboard.
