Log Significant Changes for IPMR Format 3 Reports

Use the time-phased data logging feature to designate if baseline changes are significant or not, for purposes of collecting data for the IPMR Format 3 report.

Use the Log Operation page of the Project Audit wizard to enable this feature.

Turn on the project log, then select the Log time phased changes option to enable time-phased data logging of baseline changes. If the project log is already turned on prior to selecting the option, you need to turn off the project log first.

After this feature is enabled, the Log Comment page of the Project Audit wizard displays the Significant check box, which you can use to mark a change as significant. Significant baseline changes are broken out and shown as individual entries on the IPMR Format 3 report.

If you enable the time-phased data logging feature for a project that already has status entered in the current period, you must also perform one of the following actions before you make any further changes to the budget. If you do not perform any of these actions, Cobra will incorrectly calculate the transaction amount for baseline log entries in some cases. This happens because Cobra captures additional information for time-phased changes when you perform an action that causes a baseline log entry to be created. This information will not be captured for existing projects.
