Actual Cost Editable on Assignments

Products

• Clarity PPM SaaS

Issue/Introduction

In assignments, both classic and MUX you can enter a value in actual cost and it saves.  

In Classic Clarity, the field is in the assignment TSV.  In MUX it is on the period metrics on the assignments grid.

STR:

Classic:

1. Create an assignment
2. Configure the TSV fields to include the OOTB field called Actual Cost
3. Save and Return
4. Type a number in one of the TSV Actual Cost Fields
5. Save

MUX:

1. Go to the assignments tab on a project
2. Make the Per Period Metrics show at least Actual Cost. 
3. Type a number in one of the actual cost cells.
4. Click off the cell

Expected Results:  Actual Cost is removed from the cell

Actual Results:    Actual Cost remains.

Note: This is not ACWP and the assignment actual costs do not update onto the task or project level.  However they can show in the Data Warehouse.
