General parameters > Chapter Common Data > Parameter ESTBILINIT (Prog. status percentage init.) 

This parameter is used by the progress billing process when the estimated progress of a project, budget or task at Pending status is refreshed either automatically, or on demand.


Combined (Project progress/Forecast status) - This is the default value for this parameter. The Progress status Estimated progress (%) field (PRCCPLCAL) can be updated from either the Estimated progress (%) field (PRCCPL) on the project level, the budget level, or the task level, or alternatively from the next scheduled invoice percentage, if the Estimated progress (%) field is undefined on the project, budget, or task.

Forecast status only (Scheduled invoices) - The Progress status Estimated progress (%) field is updated from the next scheduled invoice percentage.

Project progress only - The Progress status Estimated progress (%) field is updated from the Estimated progress (%) field (PRCCPL) on the project level, the budget level, or the task level.


The estimated progress of the progress billing process is updated on demand by clicking a Refresh status action. When clicked, the Refresh status action "requests" a value for the Progress status Estimated progress (%) (PRCCPLCAL) field. However, before this value can be updated the Estimated progress (%) field must be initialized. You use this parameter to define the source that is to be used to populate the Estimated progress (%) field when the progress billing progress percentage is refreshed.
