Cannot Create Detail Row in Cost Plan

Products

• Clarity PPM SaaS

Issue/Introduction

When Clarity 16.1.1 was introduced there was the ability to add detailed rows to the cost plan.  Now for SaaS customers it appears the ability has been removed.

Environment

Release : 16.1.1

Cause

It was determined by having these detailed rows in the cost plan, there was a potential to cause issues with financial reporting.  Especially for custom reports and extracts.

Resolution

For SaaS customers the ability has been removed.

Starting in 16.1.2, to  enable the option to create child rows, go to 
Classic UI > Administration > General Settings > System Options > New User Experience
uncheck option(Disable child row creation for Cost Plan Details)
Click Save.

Upgrade Impact:

You can see the Create Detail Row option is available in the right-click context menu of a Cost Plan Detail or a Submitted Budget Plan Detail record when you upgrade to this release. This functionality is disabled by default after an upgrade in Clarity SaaS. Customers who want to enable this capability should open a support ticket requesting details on toggling this functionality off. In a future release, we plan to have a system option allowing administrators to enable/disable this functionality.
