1.I did Cost Loading For my Project.I am Able to Get the Correct Budget Cost in the Activity Table .But in My Activity Usage Profile Option/Resource Usage Profile I got Difference of 60SAR(Saudi Riyal)
2.When I Import the Same Project to Another PC I got Different Budget Cost & After that if i Run Global Change (Budget Cost = Budget Material Units * Price/Unit).I am able to get the Exact Value in Activity Table & In S Curve I got Same 60 SAR Diff
How can i Fix it.

    Hi Anbin

    Sounds like a rounding up / down error.

    Make sure that the two data sets are set to the same decimal places.

    Best regards

    Anbin,

    It’s because of the rounding up the figures. Pro’ly, the data that you imported have more than 3 decimal places but P6 can only accomodate 2 decimal places. What P6 does is round it up accordingly.

    Yeah i guess everybody confront the same problem. This happen too at Primavera 3. So what u need to do just play around the figure.

    P6 database is designed to hold up to 8 decimal points in some cases (cost_per_qty for instance is NUMERIC(21,8)) but the P6 interface allows you to see only 2 decimals.
