Remove Requirements from the Hierarchy

Removing requirements from the requirement hierarchy reduces the aggregated totals for budget and estimated costs and efforts for any parent (ancestor) requirements in the hierarchy.

Consider the following when removing requirements from the hierarchy:

• If the requirement you are removing is a child requirement, the requirement and any lower-level requirements relative to the child are removed.
• The requirement itself is not deleted from CA Clarity PPM.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the requirement.

   The general page appears.

2. Click Hierarchy.

   The hierarchy page appears.

3. Select the check box next to the requirement, and click Remove.
