Copy Control Account Dialog Box
Use this dialog box to create a new control account by copying an existing one.
To create a new control account, you must modify the entry in at least one field in the Copy To group box.
The names of the control account fields depend on the labels that you specified when you create the project in the New Project Wizard. For example, if you specified WBS as the label for Control Account Field 1 in the New Project Wizard, then the field name displayed on the Copy Control Account dialog box is WBS. You can also modify the control account field names on the Fields Tab of the Project Properties dialog box.
- The level of the control account code selected for the CLIN code is different between the source and target projects.
- The level of the control account code selected for the CLIN code is the same for the source and target projects, but the code field types or code files are different.
If the control account code level for the CLIN code and their code file types and code files match during validation, Cobra performs the process. Otherwise, Cobra displays an error message.
