BCWS for Inserted Project - Project Pro 2007

On a master project I have a few inserted projects. Project Pro creates a
header task for each of the inserted projects. If I add a column such as
"Cost" or "Work", the header task entry for cost or work rolls up to the
correct value. However, the "BCWS" field has no value at the header task (it
does at the child tasks). Interesting.

Is this a "feature"?

This is becasue the ghost task (summary of the inserted project( in the
master project has no baseline. In order for BCWS & BCWP to work in the
mater project you will need to baseline the ghost tasks.

by design baseline information is not copied to the mater projects.

Hope this helps
