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.

Hi,

i changed the unit price value of a resource . Old one 100$ , new value is ZERO . Since total BQ is 10, total cost- according to me- must be low down 100x10= 1000 $ . But i see total COST TO COMPLETE keep its old value .

Can you say the reason?, when i change unit price why CTC doesn’t affect .

Thanks..

again hi,

i have again another problem with unit price .

old unit price = 10(1 year ago)
old bq=1

new unit price=13
new bq=1

at the moment bc must be 1x13=13 but it was 10, when i entered resource dictionary, go to that resource and calculate(unit price at that moment is 13)bc changed from 10 to 13, it is ok what i want BUT!

i have same problem with 120 resources . i don’t want do the same thing(first of all find the problem resouces, go that resources and calculate all of them) . So i hope it must be calculated automatically from somewhere

and my simple question : WHERE IS THAT ? HOW CAN I ?

Thanks to everybodyyy

Hi Alex,

"However Cost to complete is a forecast cost, thats why normally it will NOT CHANGE even you change the unit cost."

NOT CHANGE--> it doesn’t change when unit price is ZERO
but it always change unless its unit price is ZERO
i didn’t understand this situation

When you do the same thing in your projects, do you take the same result with me?

Thanks

Cost to complete is different to Budgeted Cost

Budgeted cost is refer to your Q * cost/unit (autocost rule required)
However Cost to complete is a forecast cost, thats why normally it will not change even you change the unit cost.

Its like maintaining your forecast event the budget had changed. It can change in the autocost rule. HTH

Hi Oliver,

I found an interesting thing :
If you put NOT zero but close to zero like 0.01 to unit price

When you click calculate button, automatically CTC values ara calculated

BUT! when you put zero to unit price and do the same procedure, CTC values are SAME but unit price CHANGED ?!

Any idea?, what can be the solution?

Thanks

Have a look at the AutoCost rules.
