    1 Use of Application

    Enter the application by double-clicking on the Planeco icon to open its main menu.

    The icons in general use are:

  • 8/3/2019 Economic Planning Help 63

    5/134

    Economic Planning 6.3.

    - 5 -

    Add (Alt + N): Add data.

    Change (Alt + M): Change and add data.

    Delete (Alt + B): Delete selected data by clicking on the button to theleft of each row.

    Print (Alt + I): Print the relevant list or graphic.

    Accept (Alt + A): Accept the last row of data.

    Cancel (Alt + C): Cancel the last row of data.

    Exit: (Alt + S): Exit the main menu.

    Help (Alt + Y): For on-screen help.

    There are also icons for searching and accessing the data help screen (spectacles) andfor choosing from among various data options (arrow).

    The keys in brackets are keyboard functions equivalent to clicking each general use icon.

    The application has two types of screens: With fixed data

    These screens contain a permanent data structure with a fixed format that allows the datain each field to be edited (e.g., in P-1) and displays some of their properties in a buttonnext to each item (e.g., P-0 or joint lists).

    With variable data

    These are the more commonly-used screens in the application and are similar in design toa spreadsheet. When a new record is entered, a new row is created that is added to theexisting information and is saved when the user moves to another row (with the Acceptbutton, using the keyboard arrow keys, with the mouse or by pressing Return to acceptwhen in the last edit field).

    The top of each screen shows the title (chapters, activities, etc) with a data status lineunderneath, always showing the descriptions on the screen while the other items are

    being edited. The lower part shows the summaries for each general item (chapters, sub-chapters, activities, etc). The screen icons, both those of general use and those that arespecific to each program option, are underneath this.

    In both types of screens, the fields shown in white can be edited. The fields in blue are theresults of operations or data that have been entered already and therefore cannot beedited. The top of the editable rows contains the field titles. Windows whose data do not fit

    onto one screen have horizontal and vertical scroll bars.

    The Return or the Tab key is used to move from one field to another when entering data.

    Recorded data may be changed with the Change icon, placing the cursor in the relevantfield and entering the new data.

    The Windows clipboard may also be used; to copy, select the relevant group of data andpress Control + Insert; to paste, press Shift + Insert.

    As a general rule, all the amounts shown on the screens are in euros unless otherwiseindicated on the screen itself. Amounts in euros are shown without decimals, those inthousands, without decimals, and millions with one decimal. Dates are entered with fourdigits for the year. In all variable size reports, the convention is used of not listing thoseitems with data at zero in order to facilitate their understanding (e.g., P-3, S-2, etc).

    For both listings and the handling of some data (chapters, activities, units), selectors areused that a similar to those of other programs: =, >=,

This coefficient converts the projects material undertakingprices into unit production prices (without VAT). It may be unique for the entire job ormay differ for various of its chapters (unique pass K (S or N)).

    - Percentage cash retention: numeric, from 1 to 99 with one decimal; applied tocertification.

The forecast job end date isretrieved monthly from the technical planning Monitoring (Plantec) when carrying outthe DMES1 (see SIE data: DMES1).

    - Budgets (without VAT): for tendering and adjudication, which are re-calculatedautomatically, one from the other, using the projects adjudication coefficient. Current:initially, take the adjudication budget. When the P-4 files are edited, it is calculated asthe sum of the financially approved files (situation key 5).

    - If the job is a temporary joint venture, the icon for defining the percentage participation(to four decimals) in the temporary joint venture is enabled and the jobs SIE code isdefined as 100% of the temporary joint venture (for movements between SIE andfinancial planning). In internal temporary joint ventures, the temporary joint venturepercentage is defined as the percentage participations of the divisions in the job. Areacompanies are also defined as temporary joint ventures even when the participation is100% (e.g., FAA SA and FCC CO).

    -

    VAT.- Whether the chapter is open or closed.

    A special chapter has been defined to collect production due to interests for delay andfinancial interests, with the IN code.

    The following data are entered from the budgetary units editor:

    - Code, between 1 and 999.

    - Description.

    - Unit of measurement, selected from the units of measurement table.

    - Situation of the unit, which may be:

    - 0: budgetary units for the initial adjudicated project.

    - 1: new budgetary units (contradictory prices), financially approved.

    - 2: new budgetary units (contradictory prices) not financially approved.

    - Price of material undertaking or unit production price, indiscriminately (positive, withtwo decimals).

    - Measurements for adjudicated project, firm and in progress.

    If a firm measurement that is greater than that approved is entered, the program issues awarning, allowing it to be retained or moving it to process. Likewise, it does not allow unitswith key 2 to have an approved or firm measurement.

    As units are entered, the program recalculates the amount in each unit and by chaptersand sub-chapters, these latter appearing in the lower part of the screen. The budget maybe updated in any phase of the job (initial planning, revision or Monitoring).

    To facilitate the work of editing the budget, the option to copy or move units may be usedwhen the units are repeated in different chapters. Selecting the units and clicking on therelevant icon allows them to be copied or moved to the required chapter.

    Once various - or all - chapters in the job have been created, the required chapter may besearched for by clicking on the Next/Previous icons, allowing the user to move fromthrough the various chapters one by one; clicking on the Search icon provides access tothe chapters help icon.

    Clicking on this icon opens a screen showing the chapters created; the required chaptermay be selected by double clicking on it.

    The P-2 screen allows direct costs be to be assigned to the budgetary units in thechapters using the Give Costs to Chapter UP icon. When this is clicked and confirmed, anactivity is created whose code is the same as that of the chapter with an added zero. The

    application directly opens the direct cost editing screen for the P-6 budgetary unit and thedirect cost data are entered in the budgetary units (see section P-6).

    The activity created has the following properties:

    - The description is that of the relevant chapter.

    - It is of type B.

    - It includes all the budgetary units from the chapter that originated it with participation inprice 1 and with all the measurement (firm plus in progress) as a pendingmeasurement for that unit in the activity. The activities editor must be used to modifyany of these properties (see P-6).

    The P2 may be listed by clicking on the relevant icon. This opens a screen with a listingselector that allows listing on the screen or on the printer.

    When printing using the joint listings option, all the chapters are sent directly to the printer.

    In revisions, when there are units with production at origin and new prices, on closing thescreen, a warning message appears, allowing the new prices to be listed, compared withthe previous ones and the amount of the difference (the product of the difference in pricesby the measurement at origin of each unit).

    4.1.2 Production by revision

    Production by revision of prices is included in a special chapter, called Chapter RV forshort, and which has only three fixed units:

    - RV1: Production of revision in firm.

    - RV2: Production of revision in process.

    - RV3: Production of revision approved.

    In any of the three units, it is possible to edit its total amount or a percentage of the totalordinary production for the job (P2) that appears on the screen.

    If percentages are entered, the total amount is updated when it is changed through theordinary production P-2. This chapter may be listed from its screen. It appears in jointlistings when form P-2 is listed.

    On exiting from both the P-2 and the revision production screens, the system checks forcoherency between the total firm and current amounts with a margin of 600. If the firmexceeds the current by a greater amount, a message appears, allowing the user to exit. Ifthe firm is less than or equal to the current amount, the screen closes immediately.

    4.2 Production totals (P-3)

    This screen shows the summary of the production entered previously in the ordinaryproduction screens (P-2) and revision production (Chapter RV). Given that the data come

    from previous processes, it only allows look-up mode (the fields are shown in blue). Asshown on the screen, the amounts are shown in thousands of euros with two decimals.

    The amount shown are, for SIE origin, pending and total: production in firm, process, total

    (firm plus in progress) and approved total, broken down by chapter; and in the lower partof the screen, the job total. The list has two options: summary by chapters or breakdown,including all the detail of the chapters and sub-chapters into which the job project hasbeen broken down, available both on the screen and on the printer.

    4.3 Files (P-4)

    This screen allows the jobs administrative files to be edited.

    When the screen is entered for the first time, the adjudicated project is automaticallycreated with file number 0 and the adjudication amount entered in P-1.

    The following data are entered when registering files:

    - File code.

    - Name.

    - Type. This is based on the classification of the SIE future variations according to thefile concerned (settlement, changed, etc).

    - Key. This is based on the files administrative situation up to financial approval. Help isavailable for these two codings. Clicking the help icon opens the future variations andadministrative situation tables for the file; the one for the current file can be chosen bydouble clicking on its value.

    - File amount in euros.

    - File percentage of the initial adjudication and the current one.

    - Dates of technical and financial approvals, entered when the situations occur in thefiles.

    These data may only be edited in the jobs current phase, initial planning or revision. In

    the revision phase, the log data for the previous revision and initial planning are shown.

    The lower part of the screen shows:

    - The total of files in the current revision, the previous one and the initial one.

    - The jobs production total (from P3 and P11).

    - The initially adjudicated project and the current project.

    Once the objectives have been created for a file, if the file is financially approved orcancelled, the associated included objectives are automatically cancelled, afterconfirmation.

    Files 98 (reduction of costs) and 99 (difference between approved and firm production)are registered using the P-12 screen; that is, they need not be registered in P-4. Theamount of file 99 is not summed in the total files amount.

    On exiting the screen, the application compares the total sum of the files with the jobsproduction total. If the difference is greater than + 600, it notifies the difference but allowsthe user to exit the screen.

    The list has the same structure as on the screen; the data appear in euros with twodecimals.

    To compare files entered in P-4 with those in SIE (incorporated in the job using theDACT2 automatic transfer), there is a list of SIE files in the P-4 screen with those thathave differences in some datum with P4 marked: description, amount, file type or situationkey.

    4.4 Direct costs (P-6)

    This option allows the jobs economic activities, their budgetary units and the forecastdirect costs for the job to be edited by activities (type A) or by budgetary unit in activities(type B).

    When opened, the P-6 screen displays the activities already created (either in P-6 itself orthrough P-2 or by importing the P-6 in FIEBDC format). If there is no activity, the cursor islocated in the code field. The following data must be entered in order to edit activities:

    - Code: numeric from 1 to 998.

    - Name.

    - Type of activity: A or B. If the activity is of type A, its measurement unit (chosen from

    the measurement units table) and its pending measurement must be defined.

    Once the activity has been defined, it is necessary to set its relationship with thebudgetary units that comprise it.

    There is an icon for this for importing the chapters from UP. When clicked, a chapterselector appears that allows units to be incorporated to the relevant activity. When therange of required chapters has been chosen, a unit selection screen appears. Those unitsthat have non-null measurements will automatically be marked for assignation to activities,otherwise they are unmarked. The relevant information (properties, total measurement ofthe unit in P-2 and rest of measurement for assignation to activities) appears for each unit.The measurement to be incorporated in the activity will be the total measurement, which

    can be changed by the user (the field appears in white).

    When the Accept icon is clicked, the selected units with their total measurement areincorporated into the activity; the participation in price and measurement may be changedin the P-6 screen if necessary.

    The option to copy or move units may be used to facilitate the work of editing activitieswhen units are repeated in various activities. Selecting the units and clicking on therelevant icon copies or moves them to the required activity.

    There is a help icon that specifies the current activities for each unit as well as therelevant data (pending measurement, participation in price, measurement at origin of theunit in the activity, and, below, the rest of measurement to be assigned from the total forthe unit to activities).

    In the Monitoring phase, new activities may be created or new units be assigned toexisting activities. The costs of the budgetary units in activities already created in therevision phase may not be changed in order not to upset the Monitoring (this last process

    may be carried out in the continuous revision).

    In Monitoring, the pending measurement is updated as the production is carried out sothat the pending direct cost is always updated, in any phase, including in Monitoring.

    In type B activities, once the participation in measurement and in price have been enteredin each budgetary unit, the direct cost is entered using the relevant icon. Units or totalsmay be entered.

    This unit cost belongs to each budgetary unit in the B activity; it is multiplied by theparticipation in measurement and price of the unit to give the total cost of the activity. Thecost of the units or activities may also be entered by a creating broken-down prices.Clicking on the relevant icon opens a screen in which the costs of units or activities can becalculated on the basis of elemental prices, in which the following are defined: its costnature using its coding: MO, labour, etc, as shown by the screen help). The code will beXXyyyy, where XX shows the nature of the cost and yyyy its alphanumeric coding.Whether or not it has a supplier and his code (four alphanumeric characters). The amount,the price and the elemental price coefficient. The price is unique for all the units in whichthe elemental price appears; the amount and the coefficient belong to the unit containingthem.

    Once the broken-down price of the unit or activity has been created, there are various listsof costs and consumption forecasts (see prices breakdown section).

    Broken down prices may also be imported from other units.

    Given that the updating of costs often occurs jointly in various activities, units or costnatures, an option has been provided that allows this process to be carried out easily.Clicking on the k (constant) icon in the activities editor allows the forecast costs to beupdated for activities, cost natures and units using the selectors provided for the purpose.This process allows the rapid updating of forecast costs for activities, direct cost naturesand units.

    The total production for the activity, the total direct cost and the unit cost in types A and Kactivities are shown on the screen under the budgetary units. At the bottom there is abreakdown by cost natures, units in A activities and the total. The program reserves anactivity for collecting the differences between the measurement for the job to be carriedout in reality and the measurement of the job for production (999). This activity isgenerated later. This activity contains the IN chapter units, when these exist (see P2-P6coherence).

    The production and the direct costs of financial activities and their budgetary units enteredin P-6 may be printed or seen on the screen using the Print icon. A selector appears thatallows both the activities (P-6) and the breakdown of the costs of budgetary units bynatures in each activity (P-6C) to be listed. When the joint listings option is listed in P-6, allthe activities in the job are printed.

    4.5 Summary of direct cost (P-7)

    This screen shows a summary of production and direct cost by financial activities in thejob, previously entered in P-6.

    Because the data that appear on the screen are the result of previous processes andcalculations, they cannot be edited but appear in consultation mode with the fields shownin blue. The amounts are in thousands.

    The upper part shows all the activities in the job with the production, total direct cost,direct cost by natures and k data for each activity.

    The lower part shows the summary of the job with the same items as in the breakdown byactivities: pending production, k for the job, breakdown and total direct cost.

    Underneath this are the production by revision and production by change of prices. Thislast item is produced in revisions (not in initial planning) and is the variation in productiondue to the change of budgetary unit prices in production at origin and is incorporated intoplanning after the last quarterly Monitoring before the revision. When Monitoring isopened, this amount is incorporated in the jobs production at origin.

    The listing has the same structure as the screen.

    4.6 Indirect cost (P-8 and P-9)

    This option allows the editing of indirect costs and has four sections.

    When the job is an external temporary joint venture, clicking on the relevant button allowsthe indirect costs of the internal centre to be edited.

Given that the fields that appearon the screen are already calculated and that the SIE origin data are already known, the

    screen is for consultation only - the data cannot be changed.

    The calculation of the forecast is detailed month by month during the quarter following theinitial planning or revision and by totals for the rest of the financial year and the followingfinancial years. These values will be used later for the indirect costs forecast inMonitoring.

    4.7.2 Distribution of general installations (P-9D)

    This screen shows the total indirect cost of the natures of cost described above.

    The percentage of approved cost is that which is used for calculating the forecast cost inMonitoring. It may be equal to the forecast or greater if it is intended to amortise the costmore quickly.

    If a message appears in upper case and in red, this shows that a check has been failed.

    The order of the checks is:

    - Match with planned production (P-3) and that included in files (P-4).

    - Firm production not greater than that approved (P-3).

    - Match between production and files (P-4) with the sum of its objectives (P-12).

    Coherence of measurements for production (P-2) and for cost (P-6).

    The coherence margin is 600.

    Once all the checks have been passed correctly, clicking on the Validate icon opens thetime summary distribution screen (P 13).

    The associated report is the following:

    4.13 P2-P6 coherence

    This option compares the measurements of the budgetary units in P2 and P6, that is, itchecks if all of the jobs production, broken down by budgetary units, has its direct costassigned through the jobs activities.

    On entering this option, when there are differences, a screen appears showing only themismatched budgetary units with all their data.

    The status line shows the data for each unit. The measurements for P2, P6, SIE originand the total difference are also shown in the measurement and in the amount. Themismatch may occur due to the difference of measurement between the P2 and P6 totalsor for a sum other than 1 of the participations in the price of a unit in activities. The

    differences may be printed at this time by clicking on the relevant icon.

    The fields for assigning measurements of the units to activity 999, to P6 and to P2 areshown on the right, blank. To achieve a complete match of each budgetary unit, ameasurement may be assigned to any of these three items: activity 999, P6 and P2. Aspart of the measurement is assigned and the row is updated (changing row or clicking onthe Accept icon), the difference of measurement between P2 and P6 is automaticallyrecalculated. If a measurement for a unit is assigned to P6 when this unit does not belongto any activity, the program requests confirmation.

    When there is complete coherency for each unit, the relevant row disappears from thescreen. When all the units have been completed, a message appears that the coherencytest has been passed. If the P2 - P6 coherence program is re-entered without modifyingeither P2 or P6, it again indicates that the coherency test has been passed, given that italways retains the contents of activity 999 (which can always be edited in P6). If thecorrection of the units coherence has not been terminated, the program displays awarning but allows the user to exit.

    This means that the coherence program may be used to correct all the differencesbetween P2 and P6, operating both in activity 999 and in P2 and P6 themselves. There isa help screen for each unit showing the activity in which it is included and its participationin measurement.

    4.14 SIE data (DACT2)

    This option transfers to planning the SIE origin data of costs by natures, costs at origin ofgeneral installations and studies and projects as well as certificates and the SIE originreceipts.

    Given that it incorporates the costs at origin, in the Monitoring phase it will change the SIEorigin dates for the month before the Monitoring is made, so that the DACT2 to be enteredmust match the consolidated SIE data for this previous month to prevent the duplicating ofthe cost for the current month, entered using DMES2 or manually.

    Entering this option in the revision, Monitoring or integration phases displays a unitselector (diskette or hard disk) for retrieving the data for incorporation into the relevant jobor integration, as appropriate.

    5.1 Production

    Clicking on Monitoring opens a drop-down menu with all the options for this block.

    While in the Monitoring phase, it is possible to obtain the lists for the initial and revisionplanning phases.

    It is important to note that the costs (direct, indirect and proportional) are updated in eachMonitoring, with the screens and reports showing only the pending costs: pending directcosts (P-6 and P-7), pending indirect costs (P-8 and P-9), other indirect costs and pendingstructure costs (P-10).

    This allows the P-11 listing to be obtained, showing the data for the following situations:

    initial planning, previous revision (if one exists), SIE origin data (included including thecurrent Monitoring), revised pending data (with the production and costs for the currentMonitoring already consumed) and total data (including the deviations produced in thecurrent Monitoring).

    This option allows the jobs production to be edited and has two sections.

    5.1.1 Production by units (Produp)

    A Monitoring is carried out by selecting the Production option and then the Produp optionin the new drop-down menu that appears.

    Once in the Production by Activities screen (Produp), click on the Change Icon and enterthe current origin measurement for each budgetary unit (in type B activities) or for eachtype A activity that has had a variation during the month.

    Once the entry of data for this activity has ended, click in the Validate icon.

    There are Next/Previous Activity and Search icons for moving to other activities.

    Once the measurements have been entered for all the activities, clicking on the Exit iconreturns to the main menu.

    Immediately, a warning appears that there are budgetary units whose productiondistribution has changed. Clicking on the Accept icon displays a second message forchoosing between the two ways of carrying out the distribution:

    - Automatic: click on YES.

    -Manual: click on NO.

    If automatic distribution is chosen, the application distributes the measurement total foreach firm or in progress budgetary unit according to the SIE criteria. It considersproduction to be firm for units in 0 or 1 situations until it reaches the appropriatemeasurement and in progress, all the measurement for units in situation 2.

    When the process has been carried out, the firm/in progress distribution change screenshows the calculated distribution, which may be changed by the user, respecting themeasurement total for each unit.

    The use of automatic distribution is recommended because it is therefore the applicationthat carries out all calculations; any units that require it may be adjusted manually.

    Clicking on the Print icon in the Production by Activities (Produp) screen, always aftercarrying out the production distribution, shows the listing selection screen(Produp/Prodact) that allows the user to choose the Produp listings for the entire job orsome chapters using the chapter selector, and Prodact, for the entire job or for someactivities using the activities selector.

    Both listings may be obtained with month or origin data by clicking on the appropriateoptions.

    It is also possible to choose between seeing the listing on the screen or sending it directlyto the printer.

    The associated reports are the following:PRUPCAP1.pdfPRUPCAP2.pdf
