    • The first step in both Simple and Advanced planning for a portfolio is to select the fiscal period for the data that you want to work with. Next, set the target amounts for both operating and capital expenses.

    Before you begin

    On the Portfolio form, set the Portfolio Planning field to Simple or Advanced for the portfolio.

    Role required: it_portfolio_manager or it_pps_admin

    About this task

    Typically, the target amount is provided by the steering committee or the investment committee. Based on the actual amount spent in the last fiscal year, the target for the planned fiscal year can be 110% of the amount spent in the last year. The target is the starting point for planning projects for the next fiscal year.
    Note:
    The PPS admin can also set the portfolio target by navigating to Project Administration > Enter Portfolio Target.
