Construct the whole consequence account

Start from compatible policies on the same service boundary, perspective and horizon. If a policy omits later support or its ending, return to EAM.8. Then describe what work and service the combination actually entails. Identify shared preparation, enabling work, recurring operation, temporary service and ending consequences. Obtain amounts and dates for those actual operations.

Reconcile this whole account with the separate accounts. For costs on the same basis, joint adjustment = whole-combination cost − sum of standalone costs. A negative amount is a saving; a positive amount is an additional cost. Explain what causes it and when it occurs. Where effects differ by date, construct the dated differences first and obtain their financial value through FIN.9 on the applicable basis. FIN.9 develops this interaction comparison and dated funding constraints; its return must identify the combination, common baseline, perspective, amounts, dates and significant assumptions.

Count each shared consequence once. If two estimates each contain the same mobilization, the combination that uses one mobilization retains one payment. If three jobs share it, reconstruct their common account; summing all three pairwise discounts could remove more mobilizations than were included. If sharing requires extra supervision or temporary service, include that cost too. An allocation of common cost among departments does not by itself create a saving in the whole payment.

Keep unpriced consequences visible. Shared disruption can change a service or environmental result even when the expenditure sum is unchanged. Use EAM.9’s actual criteria to compare those consequences; a cash adjustment cannot silently settle them. When the combination changes a demand or recovery premise, return that premise to EAM.4 or EAM.6 before relying on its qualification.
