Plan of Record

The plan of record (POR) is the cost plan that you intend to use as the budget plan for an investment. If there is an existing approved budget plan, you can use the POR to create a new budget plan. The first cost plan you create for an investment becomes the POR by default. You can reassign the POR to any plan and submit it for budget approval. You can keep the remaining cost plans for future use or reference. You cannot delete a POR.

When you add an investment to a portfolio, the cost plan POR is automatically associated to all portfolio scenarios related to that investment. This association with the POR verifies that the investment costs are included in the portfolio scenarios. Later, if you select a different POR for the investment, the new POR is used in the portfolio provided no approved budget exists for the investment. Once a budget is approved, switching the POR has no effect on the value displayed on the financial summary pages of the investment. The financial summary value is the same value that is shown in the portfolio.
