Monitoring of quantities
Monitoring the consumption of agreed quantities.
In certain development cooperation projects, planning and monitoring quantities plays a key role.
Frequently, individual budget positions based on fixed quantities are agreed with consulting companies. It's then important to have a simple method to plan and monitor quantities for reporting back to customers.
Implementation in WINPACCS
Most of the time, monitoring quantities is only required for some customer budget lines. For instance, if funding of a fixed quantity of expert days is linked to a certain budget line. For other budget positions, a quantity is simply agreed – independent of quantity units.
The best way to produce an easy-to-use monitoring of quantities is to enter the quantity information in the Project cashbook or Project accounting when entering the matching cost postings. It's then useful if the appropriate entry field for the cost's budget line is shown and the quantity unit appears automatically.
