Configure Calculate Financials Settings

You can specify whether certain fields are calculated by the system and how the system determines cash outflow when calculating Net Present Value.

To configure the Calculate Financials settings:

In the object selector, select a project or program.
From the  Main Menu, select  Cost and Funds, and then select Cash Flow.
On the Cash Flow page, select  Settings.
On the General tab, in the Calculate Financials section, set the following options:
- Calculate Financials: Use this setting to specify whether the Net Present Value, Payback Period, Internal Rate of Return, and Return on Investment fields should be calculated by the system.
  The Internal Rate of Return calculation is an iterative process and will return null if a solution cannot be found within a preset number of attempts.
- Use Planned Budget as cash outflow: If an annual discount rate is specified, use this option to determine which information the system interprets as cash outflow when calculating the Net Present Value. When this option is not selected, the system uses Forecast information. When it is selected, the system uses Planned Budget information.
Select Apply.
