Edit Baselines (Contracts)

Use the properties page of baseline revision to edit the baseline revision name, ID, and description. You can also view the baseline revision start date, finish date, usage data, and BCWP on the page.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the contract to edit a baseline.

   The properties page appears.

2. Click Baseline.

   The baseline properties page appears.

3. Click the name of a baseline revision.

4. Complete the following fields:

   Revision Name

   Baseline Usage

   Displays the system-generated usage at the time you baseline using the following formula:

   Usage = Total of Actuals + ETC
   

   BCWP

   Displays the system-calculated value of Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP). The value is calculated and recorded when you baseline a project, or when you update earned value totals. BCWP is also referred to as the earned value (EV). BCWP represents the amount of the budgeted cost (BAC) completed based on performance as measured using the Task EV Calculation method.

   Calculations are made based on the level at which the calculation is made. BCWP is calculated at the following levels:

   • Task. BCWP is based on the selected EV calculation method.
   • Project. BCWP is the sum of BCWP for all WBS Level 1 tasks in the project.

   Current Baseline Required: Yes

   Current Revision

   Specifies to make the baseline the current baseline. The field is unlocked only when multiple baseline revisions exist.

   Default: Selected
