Capital vs Expense by Period Portlet

The Capital vs Expense by Period portlet displays planned cost by fiscal period, and in total, for each investment included in a portfolio. Use this portlet to compare planned capital to planned expense cost of the investments.

To view this portlet, open the portfolio and click Financials. If the page is maximized to display only one portlet at a time, select Capital vs Expense by Period from the portlet drop-down.

To view planned cost data in the portlet, you must group cost plans for an investment by charge code of Capital or Expense.

Note: This portlet honors the planning horizon of the portfolio; therefore, the fiscal periods in the portlet are within the portfolio start and finish dates. Also, this portlet does not display aggregate hierarchical cost amounts. The portlet only displays the cost amounts of the investments directly included in the portfolio and does not calculate the aggregate cost amount of any child investments. The portlet displays the home currency of the investment as determined by the department entity. It does not use the portfolio currency to do a currency conversion from the investment home currency.

The portlet displays the following fields:

Investment

Displays the name of the investment. Click an investment name to view the detailed properties for that investment.

Total Planned Capital

Displays the planned cost for the cost plan of record where the charge code is Capital.

Total Planned Expense

Displays the planned cost for the cost plan of record where the charge code is Expense.

Capital (by Fiscal Period)

Expense (by Fiscal Period)
