Cost Accounts in P6

Ali,

Assuming you’re working on a high-rise building project, and you linked your cost accounts with resource assignments, then you can use cost accounts to track activity costs.

Sample:
You can group/sort activities by floor and then run P6 filter options using cost accounts to track total costs in period under the same cost category (by CSI Division, i.e concrete works, finishes, etc.). This tool is very helpful in doing earned-value analysis.

Hope this will help.

Thanks Mr. Catalan,

Cant I reach the same result if I categorize my resources in divisions (using a father resource for each division) and then group the resource assignments?
