Problem Reports and Variances in Projects
The front end of the change management process can be extended to the collaborating members who participate in the project context. The problem reports and variances that are managed in the project context are reviewed and prioritized accordingly, along with other problem reports and variances that are managed in the product, quality, or library contexts. For more information on the change management process, see About Change Management.
In project contexts, you can create and edit problem reports and variances against a shared object. Project problem reports and variances are intended to remain in the project context and do not exist in the product context. In addition, problem reports and variances can be shared to the project context when visibility is needed for the collaborating members.

You cannot route problem reports and variances.
