Reconcile Milestone Weights

When you run the Reconcile Milestone Weight utility, Cobra runs a validation against all milestones to check that the milestone weight for the work package is within the percentage weight variance defined in the General tab of the Application Preferences dialog box.

If the milestone weight varies more than the percentage defined for the budget, Cobra provides you with three options for reconciling the variance: update the milestone weights manually, update the milestone weights programmatically, or ignore the variance.

To reconcile milestone weights:

  1. Display the Project view and click a work package for which you want to reconcile milestone weights.
  2. Select the Milestones/Steps tab and take one of the following actions:
    • In the Milestone/Step group on the Edit tab, click Milestone > Reconcile Weights.
    • Right-click the Milestones/Steps grid and select Reconcile Weights on the shortcut menu.
  3. On the Reconcile Milestone Weight Variance dialog box, select an option for reconciling milestone weights.
  4. Click on the Quick Access Toolbar to save your changes.
