Overview

This web service inserts a single project cost baseline based on a detailed project cost baseline structure (PwsProjectCostBaselineDetail). A project cost baseline is the basis for a budget. A baseline can be very simple - this project cannot have costs of more than $5000. Or very complex - this project has a senior sales rep and a junior sales rep. Each is budgeted a specific amount of money per diem. The service returns the identity of the project cost baseline (PwsProjectCostBaselineRef) that has been inserted. The caller can optionally request that the full project cost baseline detail (PwsProjectCostBaselineElement) be included in the response.

Request Elements

Element	Data Type	Required?	Default	Description	Sample Data
RequestId	Int32	No		Click here for more information.	1
SessionTicket	String	Yes		Click here for more information.	AXoSoNYPC/IRu5ISV3f2Ew==
ActualsCutoffDate	DateTime	No		The actuals cut off date for the project cost baseline. Currently, this is not used in any way, but is present for future use.	2018-03-31T00:00:00.000Z
Basis	String	Yes		The project cost baseline basis. This is used to determine how to populate the initial baseline buckets. For example, if the basis is specified as 'P', the initial budget values will be set based on the project's current cost plan. This should be one of: "P" for project cost plan "N" for none (buckets specified manually within the ProjectCostBaseline structure)	N
Dimension	String	Yes		The project cost baseline dimension. The dimension identifies how the budget is to be broken up. For example, a budget with a dimension of 'E' allows for a budget number to be specified for each expense type available on the project. This should be one of: "N" for none "E" for expense type "G" for expense type group	E
EngagementTimestamp	String	No		This is a Base64 encoded timestamp utilized for engagement locking. To protect against overwriting other changes, you may optionally echo back the timestamp returned by a call to PwsGetEngagement. This will cause the request to fail if any change has been made between when the timestamp was retrieved and when this service is invoked.
FullDetailFlag	Boolean	No	false	If set to 'true', the full detailed project cost baseline element will be included in the response	true
IntervalCount	Int32	Yes		The interval count or number of buckets of the project cost baseline. This applies for time phases other than 'N' (None). Leave NULL for non time-phased budgets.	2
ProjectCostBaseline	PwsProjectCostBaselineDetail	Yes		Details of the project cost baseline to be created. This structure identifies important properties of the baseline, such as the baseline name, which metrics are active and which one is the primary metric. It also contains, when Basis is "N", the individual baseline buckets, broken out by the selected dimension and time phase.
ProjectIdentity	PwsProjectRef	Yes		The project to which the cost baseline should be added.
StartDate	DateTime	Yes		The overall start date of the project cost baseline. Leave NULL for non time-phased baselines.	2018-01-01T00:00:00.000Z
StealEngagementLockFlag	Boolean	No	false	If set to 'true', any locks on the engagement will be stolen if it is currently locked, otherwise, if it is set to 'false' and a lock is in place the service will fail	false
TimePhase	String	Yes		The time phase associated with the project cost baseline: "N" for none "D" for daily "W" for weekly "H" for hourly "M" for monthly "Q" for quarterly "Y" for yearly	M
