Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi,

Cost % of Budget (%)

Cost % of Budget threshold value is expressed as a percentage. An issue is generated if the ratio of the activity's actual cost to its budgeted cost (actual cost / budgeted cost * 100) falls beyond the threshold values.

Actual cost is the same as Total Actual Cost, and original cost is the same as Budget at Completion (BAC).

The Cost % of Budget will reach 100 percent when the actual cost reaches the budgeted cost. The Cost % of Budget may be greater than 100 percent.
