If the unit cost, quantity, or fiscal period of a cost plan are updated, then all the
related amount fields in the cost plan, its breakdowns, and the project to which it is rolling up
are recalculated in project currency.  

Changes in Unit cost, Quantity, and Recurring check box of a cost plan
:   When you modify the Unit cost field, Quantity
    field, or Recurring check box of the Cost Plan form, the Total planned
    cost is recalculated in project currency. Similarly, the Cost in project currency in the Cost Plan Breakdown is also recalculated. Therefore, the values
    in the Planned capital in project currency, Planned operating in project currency, and the Total planned cost in project currency fields of the project are also recalculated.

Changes in the fiscal period of a cost plan
:   When you change the fiscal period, either the start or end dates in the Cost Plan form, the
    Total planned cost and the Cost in project currency of the cost plan are recalculated. Therefore, the Cost Plan Breakdown
    records may be added or removed. If the Recurring check box is not
    selected, then the Cost in project currency of each Cost Plan Breakdown
    record is recalculated. In line with this, the values in the Planned capital in project currency, Planned operating in project currency,
    and the Total planned cost in project currency fields of the project
    are also recalculated.

Changes in the entered cost of a cost plan
:   If you change the Entered cost in an individual Cost Plan Breakdown
    record, then the Total planned cost of the cost plan is recalculated in
    project currency. Therefore, the values in the Planned capital in project currency, Planned operating in project currency, and the
    Total planned cost in project currency fields of the project are also
    recalculated.

Addition of breakdowns to a cost plan
:   If you manually add cost plan breakdowns to a cost plan, then the Total planned cost of the cost plan is recalculated in project currency. Therefore, the values
    in the Planned capital in project currency, Planned operating in project currency, and the Total planned cost in project currency fields of the project are also recalculated.
