  • 1.  ETC value non-editable

    Posted Feb 10, 2017 01:39 AM

    Hi,

     

    When I am trying to edit ETC value to greater than 0 at task level, the field is non-editable.

    Is it not possible to edit ETC values ?

     

    Thanks.

    Yes and no.

    No you cannot edit ETC at task level as it summarizes the ETC from assignments.

    Yes you can edit ETC at assignment level.

    Thanks Urmas.

     

    But for few of the tasks, ETC is editable at task level. 

    And sometimes non-editable at assignment level. When changed the ETC value from OWB, the field became editable at task level in CA PPM.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi clarity5.5,

    I also agree with urmas. If you having the problem for few tasks then I would suggest you to raise a case with CA Support, so that we can have a closer look into it. 

     

    Thanks,

    Can you give an example with screenshots (for both)?

    I stand to be corrected. My response was outdated and coming from the traditional OWB

    In OWB none of the task level ETC is editable.

    When the same project is opened in CA PPM (13.3)

    at first all task level appear to be editable

    However, after saving

    all of the ETC's were not saved. Adding a number after the task name for identification

    So it is tasks 5 and 9 where the ETC was not saved. Looking at the assignments

    Those two tasks have no resources assigned.

    So the conclusion from this point test is:

    The functionality regarding editability of task level ETC in CA PPM is different from OWB (and maybe from earlier Clarity versions) : Task ETC can be edited if there is/are resource(s) assigned to the task otherwise not.
