Zeros In CPR Format 1
Problem:
My Deltek Cobra shows nothing but zeros in CPR Format 1.
After migrating a few projects from a generation 4 version of Deltek Cobra to a generation 5 version, I was rather mystified to find that when I ran a CPR Format 1, the thing was wall-to-wall zeros; with the exception of my Undistributed Budget row.
I checked all the work packages for valid resource assignments and numbers, double checked my Cost Set and Cost Class configurations to no avail; everything was fine.
Solution:
The Calendar was the issue in this instance. After the migration (which I did a few weeks ago and turned out to have nothing to do with the problem), I remembered I’d assigned a new fiscal calendar to the project. That calendar had a TODATE of 09/30/2009; the project had a Status Date of 3/31/2011. I adjusted the TODATE to match the project’s Status Date and thereafter my CPR was no longer a raft of goose eggs.
