Budget Properties (Investments)

Budget information is essential in managing and analyzing portfolios. Correctly defining and recording planned cost and benefit information help to assess and analyze projects.

Note: For planned cost information to display for a portfolio, your CA Clarity PPM administrator must schedule and run the Update Aggregated Data job. This job is required even if the included projects are not included and managed in a portfolio.

With a budget, you can define metrics, such as the Net Present Value (NPV) of the project, Return on Investment (ROI), and breakeven information. You can also define project planned and budgeted costs and benefits over a specified time period.

Alternatively, you can define a detailed financial plan to budget costs and benefits over multiple periods. If you create a detailed financial plan, information from the detailed plan is automatically populated in the budget properties page.

See the Financial Management User Guide for more information.
