good day fellow planners!!!
I have a weird problem with regard to my resource loaded programme. Everytime i import a data (i.e. AS, AF & PCT)from our subcontractor, my budgeted resource in some of my activity changes. I don’t know what could be the reason, I’ve been doing this for the past 5 months and its working fine. then last month this problem occur. This programme is cost loaded and every month I have to generate monthly valuation to be submitted to the client. Manually encoding the data that comes from the subcontractor is not possible since i have 7 towers to update & the only way is to do importing datas. I have 25,000 activities as a whole with 7 subprojects. Any help will be gladly appreciated.
THANKS!!!

    Rolyn,

    I would check your autocost rules (Tools, Optiosn, Autocost).

    You mentioned it is cost loaded and you collect AS, AF and PCT. To have the system estimate the actual you will need to have the option checked to Use updated percentage against budget to estimate actual cost (or quantity) to date.

    If these are not set and you are not collecting and inputting/importing the actual cost (or quantity) then as you import the AF the RD becomes 0 and forces the CTC and CAC (and QTC/QAC) to zero and you appear to lose those values from the Project.

    Alex,
    the budgeted quantity of some of my activities changes, some have increased and some decreases... there’s no pattern whatsoever. therefore my budgeted cost also changes. This is the first time I’ve encountered such problem like this. and this problem only occurs every time I import data (i.e. AS, AF & PCT).

    Auto-cost rule seems ok... I’ve checked it already.

    Hi Rolyn Transfer Autocost Rule from another Project. (One you are sure that you did not have any problems with)

    Also have a look as to earned Value are you using Target Project or Current Project
