Set Baseline Equal to Earned Value (BCWS = BCWP)

The Set Baseline Equal to Earned Value (BCWS = BCWP) option is used to nullify a schedule variance.

Example

In the following example, there are actuals against only one EOC — Labor.

In the example, a new resource estimate (Replan *L) is added to the BCWS for labor and the estimate has only one value (-30), the cumulative difference between BCWP and BCWS. The replan estimate (Replan *L) will contain adjusted values at all costing levels (hours, overhead, etc.) except fee.

After a Replan

If you recalculate BCWP after performing a replan using this scenario, you should specify the month of May as the Calculate BCWP From month to ensure that past history is not changed due to the adjustment to BCWS.
