Associate Contracts to Earned Value Reporting Periods

The earned value reporting period defines the frequency and the interval for the Update Earned Value History - Contracts job to take historical earned value snapshots of performance and save snapshot in the earned value history table. When using earned value methodologies to analyze contract performance, the earned value reporting period is used by the job to take the snapshot.

Historical reporting data is generated based on a contract's association to the period. The contract program manager associates the contract to the appropriate period. The earned value reporting period drives the reporting data that shows up on the CPR reports.

Note: Contact your CA Clarity PPM administrator or see the Administration Guide for more information.
