Working with release request financial information - Rolling up costs

Risk, time, and costs (actual and budget) from activities and change requests that are related to the release manifest are rolled up on the Financials tab.

• For activities, only the time spent, and the actual and budget costs, are rolled up to the release.
• For change requests, in addition to time spent and costs, the highest Risk Level is also rolled up to the release.

To roll up costs

1. Open the release request.

2. Click Links > Financials.

   Release form — Financials tab

   Based on the changes and activities displayed in the release manifest, the Release Costs table shows the costs associated with the release, and rolled-up costs from the related activities or change requests.
   For more information, see Working-with-release-manifests.

3. Click Add to attach costs to the release.
