Budgeted Cost Calculation

In the Open Standard

Hi,

I am stuck with an issue related to the budgeted cost calculation, where the normal procedure is (Budgeted Units x Price/Unit= Budgeted Cost).

My setting for unit of time is hour and the price/unit is 1. The problem is in the calculation process of BC, which always consider a value of 0.125  to multiply with the BU in order to get the BC.

For eg: BU=100 and price/unit=1, but the BC is calculated as 100x0.125 =12.5

If the setting for unit of time is changed to day, the calulation will be 100x1 =100, which I think is wrong.

All other resources are working perfectly except one (with above issue).

Am I missing any setting for this resource?

Thanks and Regards

Kannan

    your resource calendar must

    your resource calendar must be in days and 

    that is because your default units/time f0r that resource is set to 8 so 1/8= 0.125

    this says your are working 8 hours in 1 hours so the unit per hour is 0.125

    if you are using hours then 

    so 100x0.125=12.5

    if you are using days then 

    the default units/time is 8 and 8 hours per day so 8/8=1

    and 100 units x 1 = 100 which is correct

    I assume that your planning

    I assume that your planning unit is days 

    go to edit users preference

    click on the Time Units tab

    look under Units format the unit of time should be hours

    look under duration format unit of time should be day

    go to the resource directory 

    click on the details tab 

    on the right the Defaut Units/ Time this should be 8.00/d
