Contents of the Reassign Consultant Type and Consultant Name Dialog Box

Use the fields and options on the dialog box to indicate if you want to reassign all or only part of the costs for one consultant type assignment to another and to select the consultant type and the associated consultant to which you want to reassign them.

For a given work breakdown structure (WBS) element in a plan, you cannot add multiple assignments for the same consultant type - consultant pair or multiple assignments for a single consultant type without an associated consultant.

DPS does the following:
  • Reassigns the planned amount to the consultant type and consultant that you selected.
  • Deletes the original assignment. (The original assignment is not deleted if an actual job-to-date (JTD) amount exists for that assignment, or if that assignment was saved as part of the plan baseline. In those cases, the planned amount is reassigned, but the original assignment remains in the plan with no planned amount.)
