Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver 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.

A new approach for me and I would welcome any advice.

We have a couple of projects that are variations on a main project yet are to be managed outside the main programme and represented at summary level. No problem there. However the resource allocation is split between these jobes over the course of the next 18 months or so.

We have resource positions as activities with a budget allocated according to our original cost/resource profile. However this would evenly distribute the BCWS which is not how the original spread is shown and the ACWP is likely to be. So an individual may have February with 7 days in the month, March with 0 days and April with 18 days.

Is there a way In P3 of allocating Costs on a month by month basis?

The purpose of this is to gain accurate Earned Value figures over the course of the project(s).

Not that I know, although I can think of two posible ways to simulate it, that I have not tried:
1-Using resource calendars.
2-Using costume definined curves.
