Hi there,
Can anyone send me the excel format for cashflow which shall be used for tender stage. my email is [email protected]
In addition, the early earned value is just the normal cash flow generated. So, how about the late earned value? Is it possible in P5?
The thing is, we have manpower and equipment, in P5, we can generate early and late resource requirements in the Assignments. When cost codes are made separately for the expenses, can we generate same early and late earned planned values?

That’s a difficult decision: If you’ll attach it to the activity, quantity and costs are correct, date wrong, if you’ll attach it to a milestone and dissolve the cost from the activity, cost may not be correct, but the date is ok. We decided to work with a payment milestone, because for our kind of projects this seems to be the more accurate way.
Here you have to evaluate what fits better. For the cash flow for a project in progress the actuals will come from accounting.

Hi Dieter,
I suspect what Marwan is referring to is something similar to one of my posts.
That is how do we in Primavera, handle remaining costs when the physical work of an Activity is complete.
That is a Contractor has completed all the Physical concreting, but they will take another 3 months to invoice and be paid for the work.
So Remaining Costs are $X but work is 100%.

Doug.

In this report you can show remaining early- and remaining late costs.

Dieter,
You just elaborated CASHFLOW, what I am pointing out are the specific terms, EARLY CASHFLOW and LATE CASHFLOW. Does it exist in Primavera? Is it possible in P5/P6 to generate this data?
Marwan
Cash flow is time distributed cash-ins and and cash-outs. Its really not difficult to generate a cash flow.
Ins and outs depend on events: Purchase order placed, arrival of equipment, design approved ...
In P5 you have costs related to resources (labour, non-labour, material) and expenses. These costs are assigned to activities ( indirect via resource, direct by expenses) and the activities/events are assigned to time.
After the project is planned you can easily run a report. The quality of cash flow will depend on the quality of your planning.
As in general the print features of P5 are not sufficient for controllers needs youll create a csv/text-file and use Excel for print-outs.
