View Control Account Authorized Budget

Often the control account authorized budget (BAC) is driven by a bottom up number. In this case, enter the control account BAC after you define, schedule, and scope all of the control account's work packages. Use the control account Budget (BAC) field to compare the work package current aggregated BAC against your authorized budget. This display-only field displays an aggregation of the sum of BAC of all the control account’s work packages.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Home, and from Earned Value Management, click Control Accounts.

    The control accounts page appears.

  2. Click the name of the control account.

    The properties page appears.

  3. View the authorized budget in the Budget (BAC) field, and save.
