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,

For cost monitoring we decided to record actual cost especially against material. On a demo project I loaded some material on various activities and to record actual cost I unchecked both “Auto compute Actual” and  “Calculate costs from units” because if I kept them check then though system allow me to enter actual cost but on using “Recalculate Assignment Costs” it recalculate by multiplying unit rate with actual units and in my case actual unit rates sometimes under or over at time of procurement. So in order to achieve Actual Cost without changing resource unit rate, I unchecked both options on resources.

When I add any new resource with same settings as above, it automatically computes “At completion Cost” if activity not started but if activity has been started it won’t.

And in my senario sometime we have to add resources even activity has been started.

Pls Advise.
