Click
to display the Class Lookup dialog box, where you can select a target class based on the following rules:
- Never use an earned value class as a target class.
- Never use a replan class as a target class. Use the Replan utility instead for this purpose.
- If the source class is an actual class, budget classes are not displayed on the Class Lookup dialog box.
- If the source class is a budget class, frozen forecast classes are not displayed in the Class Lookup dialog box.
- If the source class is a forecast class, all classes are displayed on the Class Lookup dialog box.
- If the source class is a frozen forecast, only frozen forecast classes are displayed in the Class Lookup dialog box.
- If the source class is a replan class, frozen forecast classes are not displayed in the Class Lookup dialog box.
- If the source class is a control account class, only control account classes are displayed in the Class Lookup dialog box.
You can reclass a budget class that uses calendar set 00 to a forecast class that uses a different calendar set even if the budget is at the work package level and the forecast is at the control account level. You cannot reclass a class that uses a calendar set other than 00 into a class that uses calendar set 00.

This field provides a brief description of the selected target class.

Add to existing
|
This option adds the value in the source class to the value in the target class. This option is helpful when reclassing an approved scope change into the budget class.
|
Replace existing
|
This option replaces the value in the target class with the value in the source class for all selected costs. This option is useful when replacing the customer's forecast with a CAM's forecast. The final result does not double the original value. It replaces any class in that work package or control account with the new class.
