Objective

To add a Cost ROM (Rough Order of Magnitude), RFQ (Request for Quote), and NCC (Non-Commitment Cost) columns as source columns to your budget view.

Background

If your company has opted to use the Change Events tool on a project, you can use the steps below to add one or more of the data columns associated with the Change Events tool to your project's budget view. 

The Change Events data columns include:

  • Cost ROM. Short for Cost Rough Order of Magnitude. This column shows the Cost ROM estimate for a change event. 
  • RFQ. Short for Request for Quote.  This column shows the RFQ number.
  • NCC. Short for Non-Commitment Cost. This column shows the value of a cost that is NOT included as a line item on a purchase order or subcontract.
     Note
    If you also want to include the 'Revenue ROM' column in a budget view, see Add the Change Events Columns to a Budget View.

Things to Consider

Prerequisites

Steps

When adding the columns detailed in this article, you have these choices:

After choosing the preferred option for your budget view, add all of the recommended columns using the steps detailed below.  

Step 2: Add the Recommended Columns

  1. Add a Cost ROM column
  2. Add a Cost RFQ column
  3. Add a Non-Commitment Cost column
  4. Update Pending Cost Changes column
  5. Update Project Costs column

Add a Cost ROM Column

This adds a source column named 'Cost ROM' which shows a ROM estimate for change events. The value that appears in this column on a budget line item is not yet associated with a CV, an RFQ or a Non-Commitment Cost. 

Steps from the Configure Columns window in the Company Admin tool… Settings
  1. Click Create Source Column.
  2. Under New Source Column, do the following:
    • Column Name. Enter the name: Cost ROM
    • Column Source. Select Change Events. 
  3. Mark the ROM (Rough Order of Magnitude) tickbox to apply these filters: 
    1. Under Main PV, remove all of the marks from these tickboxes. 
    2. Under RFQ or Commitment Cost, mark the Without Cost tickbox only.
       Note
      This ensures that the source column includes only items that do not have associated costs, which excludes amounts from:
      • Request for Quotes (RFQs)
      • 2-tier Commitment Potential Variations (Commitment PVs)
      • 1-tier Commitment Variations (CVs)
    3. Under Non-Commitment Cost, mark the Without Cost tickbox only.
       Note
      This ensures that the source column includes only amounts with commitment costs and excludes Non-Commitment Costs (NCCs). 
    4. Under Scope, mark these tickboxes only:
      • In Scope
      • TBD
    5. Under Change Event Status, mark these boxes only:
      • Open
      • Closed
      • Pending
         Note
        • When filtering the columns data by change event status, any statuses not considered 'Void' are selected by default. 
        • If your company created custom statuses, those will NOT be shown by name. However,  any custom status considered 'Open', 'Closed' and 'Pending' are also selected by default. 
        • To learn more about custom statuses, see Set the Default Change Management Configurations.

Add a Cost RFQ Column

This adds a source column named 'Cost RFQ' which shows costs associated with RFQs. The value that appears in this column on a budget line item is not yet associated with a CV or a Non-Commitment Cost.

  1. Click Create Source Column.

    1. Under Main PV, remove all of the marks from these tickboxes. 
    2. Under RFQ or Commitment Cost, mark the Without Cost tickbox only.
       Note
      This ensures that the source column only includes values that do not have costs. This setting excludes amounts from:
      • 2-tier Commitment Potential Variations (Commitment PVs)
      • 3-tier Commitment Potential Variations (Commitment PVs)
      • 1-tier Commitment Variations (CVs)
    3. Under Non-Commitment Cost, mark the Without Cost tickbox only.
       Note
      This ensures that the source column includes only amounts with commitment costs and excludes Non-Commitment Costs (NCCs). 
    4. Under Scope, mark these tickboxes only:
      • In Scope
      • TBD
    5. Under Change Event Status, mark these boxes only:
      • Open
      • Closed
      • Pending
         Note
        • When filtering the columns data by change event status, any statuses not considered 'Void' are selected by default.

Add a Non-Commitment Cost Column

This adds a source column named 'Non-Commitment Cost' column. The value that appears in this column on a budget line item represents a Non-Commitment Cost. 

 Important

If you plan to use the 'Non-Commitment Cost' column in the calculation for the 'Projected Cost' column (or for a 'Forecast' column), it is important to choose one (1) of the following options to ensure the calculation is NOT double-counted when related direct costs impact your budget:

  • Optional: Update the 'Cost RFQ' column to exclude 'Closed' change event statuses. Then instruct users who create relevant direct costs to also change the appropriate change event's status to 'Closed.' This will exclude the Non-Commitment Cost from the column's value. 
    OR
  • Optional: When users create relevant direct costs, instruct your users to delete the 'Non-Commitment Cost' from the appropriate change event. 
    OR
  • Optional: Do NOT create direct costs for the 'Non-Commitment Costs' being tracked in your budget.
Steps from the Configure Columns window in the Company Admin tool… Settings
  1. Click Create Source Column.
  2. Under New Source Column, do the following:
    • Column Name. Enter the name: NCC
    • Column Source. Select Change Events. 
  3. Select the RFQ (Request for Quote) tickbox to apply these filters: 
    1. Under Main PV, remove all of the marks from these tickboxes. 
    2. Under Scope, mark these tickboxes only:
      • In Scope
      • TBD
    3. Under Change Event Status, mark these boxes only:
      • Open
      • Closed
      • Pending
         Note
        • When filtering the columns data by change event status, any statuses not considered 'Void' are selected by default. 
        • If your company created custom statuses, those will NOT be shown by name. However,  any custom status considered 'Open', 'Closed' and 'Pending' are also selected by default. 
        • To learn more about custom statuses, see Set the Default Change Management Configurations.
    4. Under Non-Commitment Costs, mark the Without Costs tickbox.
