    Hi Zoltan,It's been a while

    Hi Zoltan,

    It's been a while from the last time we exchange our plesanatries...

    With regards to the query above from Haresh, just like to know why is the budgeted cost we directly put on P6 turns to zero (0) when we input the actual dates and/or physical % complete? Hoping to hear from the Master the soonest!

    go to projects directory make

    go to projects directory make sure that your project is highlighted check your clacluations settings under resource assignments it should be subtract actual from at completion. 

    also the recalculey actual units and costs when duration % complete changes 

    and link actual and actual this period units and cost

    In the defaults tab the duration type should be Fixed durations and units/time

    then run a global change where duration % complete = physcial % complete

    the price/unit has to be 1 at least 1 becasue anything multiplied or divided by 0 = 0
