Budgeted Costs

In the Open Standard

Hi

When I enter a budgeted cost against £GBP in the resource layout and then change the dates or add a cost curve (for example) the budgeted cost gets reset to zero. Is there any way to prevent this? Is it a case of entering dates and curves before cost, or have I to adjust a setting somewhere. It’s getting annoying because I thought I entered a cost, only to have to do it again!

Thanks

Emma

    If you are not tracking units, you can uncheck "cost units linked". This is set for each assignment in the resources tab.

    You may avoid that by two ways,
    1- You have to enter the units & prices in the resource directory (resource pool) , Units & Price Tape. Then assign this resource to its activity. By this way it will not reset to zero again. Because the Budgeted cost will be calculated by P3e according to the formula (BC = Price/Unit * Budgeted Unites) . If you obliged for any reason to change the Price/Unite in the recourse tape in the activity details , you have to do the following,
    o Go to tools menu.
    o Choose Recalculate assignment cost.
    2- Do not change dates by dragging the activity. Depend on Schedule to do that.

    Please give me the feedback.

    Regards

    Thanks for your replies guys.

    Bill, thanks - your suggestion worked! I couldn’t find the Cost Units Linked until I went to Knowledgebase and found that it was because I’d not got the column showing in the resource tab! Duh!! Now that I have all problems are solved and I shall have a very happy day - well better than Friday!!

    Cheers
