Cost Data Retrieval

Cost information is retrieved from the financial cost matrix in CA Clarity PPM when you open projects using CA Clarity PPM in Microsoft Project. Cost rates determine the cost associated with a resource assigned to a task in a project. The cost rates displayed in Microsoft Project are retrieved from the Cost field in the CA Clarity PPM cost matrix. These costs are shown over time by task and at the project level.

Microsoft Project supports time-varying and project-specific cost rates. The changes you make to the cost rates in Microsoft Project are for what-if purposes only and cannot be saved to CA Clarity PPM.
