Validate Code Assignments — Solve Roll-Up Issues

The Validity Check utility has an option for validating codes. This option checks for code assignments that are no longer in the code file.

If you assign a code to your project and produce a report at summary-level code in the code file, Cobra summarizes the values. However, if you add the code assignment, delete that code from the code file and produce the same report, the data with that code assignment is not summarized to the parent code. This is normally discovered when you run a report using a control account — the values in the report are different from the values in the report that is based on a work breakdown structure (WBS). This is because the code assignment is no longer found in the code file and is not included in the roll-up report using the WBS.
