Budgeted Cost being Recalculated

In the Open Standard

I’ve added a budgeted cost to a resource and this is spread linear. The resource histogram shows this is fine. However, I have done a few things (change spreadong curve and run the "recalculate assignment costs" and suddenly the budgeted cost is zero. Why is this? The "Calculate costs from units" is unchecked.

This work has been sub-contracted out and thus includes not only resource costs but also materials. Should I use non-labour, materials, expenses or labour? What should I do with units? Make this zero?

Cheers,

mark

    Mark,

    Check your resource price/unit. If you have 0 value against these field then your cost will be automatically change to zero once you recalculate assignment costs and or checked the status date.

    Hope this help,

    Thanks Rodel. That does help although this does create new problems.I was hoping to ignore units as this could cause rounding errors. So how could I avoid this? Use expense?

    In this case I need to resource schedule so I presume I cannot avoid units.

    Mark,

    Yes you can use Expense field if you wanted to avoid units but it can be use as linear distribution only or start and end of the task. Also please note that you can not produce late resource profile if you use Expense.

    Hope this help,
    Rodel
