Dear Planners,

I am user of Primavera, but the company I am working with is using MS Project 2010, the concepts are mainly the same with different views, but I well know that in Primavera you can not assign resourse or cost to the activity, however in MS project I think you can?

Best,

Moutaz

    Hi MoutazSince a milestone

    Since a milestone has zero duration any cost assigned to it would register zero.

    So what is the point of trying?

    Cash from payment receipts

    Cash from payment receipts become available on an instant or zero duration task. it is not that if you receive 800,000 Euros you cannot make immediate transfers/payments of the whole amount.

    You might also want to schedule the activity based on meeting resource calendars.

    In MS Project you can have 3

    In MS Project you can have 3 types of resources:

    • Work
    • Material
    • Cost

    All 3 of them can be assigned to a milestone, however only Material and Cost may influence the cost of the milestone for obvouse reasons.

    Regards.

    Assign your resources or cost to the activities that would make you achieve the milestone.
