Resource Costs Back Ended

In the Open Standard

I have a 5 day activity with a resource cost against it. On producing a cost loading report the cost is spread out over the 5 days. However I want the cost back ended. I tried using the curve options for resource but this did nothing. Did I use this correctly?

I remember using a delay or lag in P3 to do a similar job but this didnt work either.

I don’t want to create milestones.

Cheers, Mark

    Hi Mark.
    You can’t assign the resource to a milestone type activity in P5.
    If you are using P6 you can manually set the resource consumption to the very last day of activity. If you have P5 - you may try Expense Item with ’End of Activity’ Accrual Type or try resource assignment with Original Lag = 4 and Original Duration = 1.
    Hope this will help you.
    Regards,
    Andrew

    Thanks Brad & Andrew.

    I’ve been busy this morning trying to get this report perfect. Yes I forget to amend the resource duration from 5 days to 1. So Andrew’s tip worked. My report didnt help as it was taking the data from the baseline and not remaining -doh. Moscow.
