Planned Labor Costs

Hi all,
I'm trying to have an activity with a set labor cost.
This is a cost that has been agreed upon for the activity and shouldn't change.
Staff record to a timesheet. Different staff have different rates.
My problem is that when applying actuals planned labor cost and at complete cost changes to resource rate x planned units I think and at complete is changed to the actual cost.
Is there anyway to just set a planned and at complete cost for an activity, and only have remaining change as actuals are applied?
Edit:
How is remaining labor cost supposed to work? Anytime I increase the actual units, At Completion Labor Cost increases by the same amount so Remaining Labor Cost never changes?

yes go to projects directory
yes go to projects directory on the left then highlight your project select view show on bottom project detail. Click on the calculations tab and on the right under Resource Assignments make sure that subtract actual from at completion is checked and make sure that Update units when costs change on resource is NOT checked. Also make sure that the activity type is NOT resource dependent and that your duration type is either fixed duration & units or fixed duration and units/time
