Set Baseline Equal to Actuals (BCWS = ACWP)

The Set Baseline = Actuals option is ideal for replanning smaller projects that do not require earned value.

Special Guidelines

The If no Baseline option is available.

The XREF-EST option is available.

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 (40), the cumulative difference between BCWS and ACWP. The replan estimate will contain adjusted values at all costing levels (hours, OH, etc.)

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.
