Hussam Hussein it is easy;

you can define 2 Material Resource; call them 1- cash in & 2- cash out.

Assign them on activities that are reflect money from BOQ.

Then, for cash in resource, apply prices from BOQ (selling prices).

And for cash out, apply prices from Project Study, (Prices - profits & overheads)

Finaly, go to resource usage profile, and choose options, disply by CASH, and in curves choose

remaining early and choose those 2 resources from resource list (at left) and you will have Cash in

and Cash OUT.

all the best

Mohamed Zaki Khafagi-PMP Mr. Hussam,

But how could I implement the curve of cash out , with the histogram of the cash in with definite

dates as invoices, advance payment.

Hussam Hussein Hi Mohamed,

the method that I suggested is the used for the baseline, the remaining is equal to the budgeted.

Now;

Usualy, Cash in & Cash out is used internally. It Means, a copy of the schedule is made and loaded

with COST(this cost is Actual estimated cost- budget minus profit and overheads).

So, at the baseline, I should assign 2 costs for each activity, Cash in (the selling cost at BOQ) and cash

out(the palnned cost that the project will spend).

At this stage, you have planned cash in and planned cash out.

During the execution of work, you will have actual cash out, which will replace the planned cash out

and it will be updated monthly.

To show curves,

Go to Resources Profile, right click and choose resource usage profile options.

At the baseline stage, choose commulative- Remaining (click on the cash in and cash out resources

from left screen) and you will have Planned cash in and Planned cash out.

During execution, from option, choose actuals commulative, and you will have the curve for actual

cash out.

I would like to ad a note here, we are using this methodology only when we want to have a loan

from the bank for a particular project.

Belive me, using excel will make you life much more easier.
