Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

hello all,

Would anyone know what would cause changes in Unit rates or any other cost discrepancies when export a project to another database?

Our programmes are set to Fixed duration and Units - % complete type is duration.

When importing projects, some of the costs have changed but not others... We have checked all the settings and they all seem to be the same for the resources and activities....

What are we missing?

Any tips?

Hi Catherine

Suggest you go into the resource calandar and create a Cost only activity bring up the following Columns 1. Auto Compute Actuals (needs a tick in the box); & 2. Calculate Costs from Units (box needs to be blank (no tick)).

Back in the bar chart section go to the resources and change budgetted units to zero.

Is this the same Cartherine that was on the SWIM (Stockport) job, with Phil & Crew?

Best Regards

James
