Field	Description
Replan by adding an adjusting entry in the current period	Select this option to instruct Cobra to make an adjustment in the current period when replan is performed. If this option is not selected, Cobra replaces the historical budget and earned value records based on the method selected. This removes all historical variances. If this option is selected, Cobra places an adjusting entry in the current period so that the cumulative cost and schedule variance are zero, depending on the method selected. All historical data is retained.
Extend the Work Package finish date when replanning after the baseline finish date	This option only applies if you selected the Replan by adding an adjusting entry in the current period option and the status date is after the baseline finish date of the work package. If the status date is after the work package baseline finish date, the work package baseline finish date is changed to the day after the status date. The adjustment of the date ensures that the replanned entry is within the work package dates.
Create a new Work Package for the replanned Budget/Earned/Actuals	Select this option to instruct Cobra to create a new work package for Replanned Budget/Earned/Actual Costs during the replan. This option puts the adjustment in the new work package that you are given the opportunity to name. If you do not select this option, the adjustment is added to the source work package. If actual costs are stored at the Control Account level, this option is required.
Allow planned Work Package to be replanned	Select this option to replan work packages that have not yet started. If this option is not selected, a work package that has not yet started will be skipped even if there is actual cost for the work package. If this option is selected, the baseline start date for the work package will be moved to the status date so that the replanned entry occurs within the work package dates.
Allow completed Work Package to be replanned	Select this option to replan completed work packages. If this option is not selected, you can only replan incomplete work packages. If the work package has a baseline finish date that is set before the status date, the work package baseline finish date is moved to the day after the status date so that the adjustment entry occurs within the work package dates.
Class for replanned Earned Value adjustments	If you replan a work package, Cobra stores the earned value of the replanned work package in the class that you specify here. Click to display the Class Lookup dialog box, where you can select the class that will store the replanned work package. By default, earned value is stored in the Earned class. This option affects only the Replan process.
