How to Enter Pending Estimates

A pending estimate is the pending state of ETC until a resource's project manager accepts or rejects the new value. You can edit the ETC, though you should only change it if you complete the assignment ahead of schedule or if you need more hours. Resources enter pending ETC on their CA Clarity PPM timesheet to reflect their completion of the task or to indicate the remaining ETC, and sends this information to the project manager by posting the timesheet. The project manager can accept or reject ETC using Open Workbench or using CA Clarity PPM.

Use the following process to enter pending estimates:

1. The resource creates a CA Clarity PPM timesheet.
2. The resource enters actuals (pending actuals) into their timesheet and edits ETC to pending ETC when appropriate.
3. The resource posts the timesheet.

   Note: See the Common Features and Personal Options User Guide for more information.

4. The project manager accepts or rejects the pending ETC.

   Note: See the Project Management User Guide for more information.

5. The project manager autoschedules the project.
