Project Gantt Chart for Job Cash Flow Management

Project Gantt Chart for Timed Forecasting Grid

Anterra’s vision for construction BI is focused on job forecasting.  In order to forecast job cash flow, project dates must be centrally managed. Most companies do not update project start and end dates in their accounting systems. Project managers typically are not given access to the job setup where the date fields are located. Anterra’s solution to cash flow forecasting and job control is to provide a central Gantt chart to:

  1.  Set project start and end dates
  2. Change project start and end dates (requiring the cost of a date change be identified)
  3. Show a log of all date changes
  4. Shows all active projects
  5. Provides an overview of project timing by company, division, and project manager
The Gantt chart component is under the Construction menu:

Please contact Anterra if you would like to test the Gantt Chart – we will need to turn off the updating of project dates from your accounting system.

The Project Gantt Chart shows all active jobs:


Clicking on a project name opens the date management pop up:

As you fill in the date change are asked for the reason for the change in dates:
                    reason
You can maintain this list in the Admin > UI Administration > Action Item Administration where we added the project date change reason as a managed field.  You can edit existing reasons, add, delete and order items. Edit the start and end dates as required, the total project duration is displayed before and after you change dates:

             action item admin

Enter the cost of the change and if it is fully recoverable, partially recoverable or not, and a note.  If you select fully or partially recoverable you are asked to enter the claimed amounts and the CO Number:

change order number

To see a log of project date changes click on the Project End Date on the Gantt Chart:
