Dear all.

 

I have a question in regards with the earned value. I have added cost resources to my project schedule, and assigned them to my activities. However, when I wanted to calculate the eaned value in MS project, all values remains zero, no matter what status date of the project I choose.

 

I have been searching for the reason behind this, but unfortunately I coudn't.

 

If anybody could help me with this, I would be so thankful..

 

Thank you.

    Ali,In MSP, cost type

    Ali,

    In MSP, cost type resources do not perform work, so they are excluded from EV calculations (i.e. BCWS, BCWP, ACWP).  To get them into EV calculations, you need to set them up and assign them as material resources (i.e. with units and rates).

    Then of course don't forget to:

    1. Set a Baseline;
    2. Select that Baseline as the basis for EV Calculations (advanced options);
    3. Enter progress (i.e. %complete or physical %complete, depending on selection in advanced options)

    Good luck, tom

    Thank you for this valuable information and confirming my thought.
