Select this option to instruct Cobra to make an adjustment in the current period when replan is performed.

If this option is not selected, Cobra replaces the historical budget and earned value records based on the method selected. This removes all historical variances. If this option is selected, Cobra places an adjusting entry in the current period so that the cumulative cost and schedule variance are zero, depending on the method selected. All historical data is retained.

This option only applies if you selec the Replan by adding an adjusting entry in the current period option and the status date is after the baseline finish date of the work package.

If the work package finish date is earlier than the applicable Replan date, Cobra updates the baseline finish date so that the adjustment occurs within the work package dates.

Cobra changes the baseline finish date to the day after the status date (status date + 1 day) when the following conditions are true:

• The finish date is earlier than the status date + 1.

• Either of the following applies:

  • The work package is In-progress and the Create a new Work Package for the replanned Budget/Progress/Actuals option is selected.
  • The work package is Planned and the Allow planned Work Package to be replanned option is selected.

Cobra changes the baseline finish date to the status date when all of the following conditions are true:

• The Extend the Work Package finish date when replanning after the baseline finish date option is selected.
• The Replan process uses an adjusting entry at the work package level.
• The Create a new Work Package for the replanned Budget/Progress/Actuals option is not selected.
• The finish date is earlier than the status date.

• One of the following applies:

  • The work package is Completed and the Allow completed Work Package to be replanned option is selected.
  • The work package is In-Progress.
  • The work package is Planned and the Allow planned Work Package to be replanned option is selected.

Select this option to instruct Cobra to create a new work package for Replanned Budget/Earned/Actual Costs during the replan. This option puts the adjustment in the new work package that you are given the opportunity to name. If you do not select this option, the adjustment is added to the source work package. If actual costs are stored at the control account level, this option is required.

Select this option to replan work packages that have not yet started. If this option is not selected, a work package that has not yet started will be skipped even if there is actual cost for the work package. If this option is selected, the baseline start date for the work package will be moved to the status date so that the replanned entry occurs within the work package dates.

Select this option to replan completed work packages. If this option is not selected, you can only replan incomplete work packages.

If the work package has a baseline finish date that is set before the status date, the work package baseline finish date is moved to the day after the status date so that the adjustment entry occurs within the work package dates.

If you replan a work package, Cobra stores the earned value of the replanned work package in the class that you specify here. Click to display the Class Lookup dialog box, where you can select the class that will store the replanned work package. By default, earned value is stored in the Earned class.

This option affects only the Replan process.
