Report set-up for Expense Cost

In the Open Standard

I currently have a project set up with cost included via Expenses - Budgeted Cost.

When setting up a report from new, what is the best subject area to choose within the report wizard? I am assuming Time distributed data should be ticked in order to get the distributed expenses cost over the duration of the project. So far I seem to be getting a report with blank values.

Thanks in advance,
Cristina

    Cristina,
    For Time distributed data subject area will be your main data only like (Activity ID, Activity Name, Cost Account (if define) and Group & sort by WBS or organize it the way you want the report presented. The value is in Time Interval Fields which is cumulative or time interval.
    If you are using Expenses then use Budget Expenses Cost or Budget Total Cost for Budget data, Actual Expenses Cost or Total Actual Cost for Actual data and Remaining Expenses Cost or Total Remaining Cost for Remaining data.

    Hi, Rodel,

    Thanks for the reply. Just wondering, is it possible to get an Early Start - Early Finish distributed costs (expenses) and Late Start - Late Finish distributed costs (expenses)?

    Thanks again,
    Cristina

    Hi Cristina,
    Unfortunately NO. Early & Late data are available only on resource and not on Expenses.

    Hi, Rodel,

    Thank you.

    I thought so, but better to double check.

    So if the costs had been assigned to resources (in the form of hourly / daily rates), it would have been possible, is that correct?

    Thanks again,
    Cristina

    Perhaps you can set up a baseline for this purpose, a baseline with all activities set to ALAP. Then you can create a cost distribution report showing both.
