A field primarily intended for use in projects that have been imported from, or that are intended to be exported to, Primavera® software.

In Primavera software, the Budgeted cost field can be used to record the budget cost of items without the need to use a baseline. When you import a project from Primavera software, resource and cost allocation information from this field in Primavera software is imported into this field in Asta Powerproject. You can view and edit this field against resource and cost allocations; the value is calculated for tasks and bars by summing the budgeted cost of the tasks' and bars' allocations. You can choose to calculate a number of earned value fields using the budgeted cost that has been recorded in this field rather than using a value from a baseline.

Although this field is primarily intended for use in projects that have been imported from, or that are intended to be exported to, Primavera software, you may also find it useful in other projects, as a simple way of recording the budget cost of items without the need to use a baseline.

A task or allocation’s total cost. This is effectively the planned total cost, as it does not take account whether costs have actually been incurred yet. If a cost centre is specified but no allocation exists, entering a figure into a cell for a task creates an allocation of the cost centre; if you enter a zero amount against an allocation, the allocation is deleted unless the Remove cost allocations if value is set to zero check box on the Spreadsheet tab of the Options dialog is cleared.

The difference between the total cost and the total income of a task or allocation. This is effectively the difference between the planned total cost and the planned total income, as it does not take account whether costs or income have actually been incurred yet.

• If you enter an amount against a "cost"-type allocation, the amount is negated and set as the net value of the allocation. For example, if you enter a net amount of £456 against a "cost"-type allocation, the allocation is set to £-456; if you enter a net amount of £-25 against a "cost"-type allocation, the allocation is set to £25.
