Sorry for late reply.
To translate the Autocost Rules of P3 into P6 parameters, you’ll better read pages 76 to 89 within the pdf "From P3 to P6" on your documentation cd. There are some helpful screenshots as well.
Automatted run of Global Changes: This is one of current requests from German EPC contractors to Primavera.

Thanks for your help. Does anyone know how to make a global change permanant so we do not have to "apply changes" everytime?

to be honest James, i am very new to P6,( in work,we use only P3, and an in house software to evaluate physical progress).
but as far as i know, there is no dynamic links yet in primavera products.
good luck with your update;

Mimoune:
It works however, we will need to do an "apply change" to both of the new global changes to make this work. Do you concur and have a way to get around the "apply change"?
Thanks,
James B.
perhaps this link will answer your question

Dieter:
Sorry about just now getting back to you. The company I work for is used to in P3 having the autocost rule unlinked between remaining duration and percent complete, with the percent complete time the budgeted cost determining the actual costs. There are so many combinations in P6 we cannot find one that does what I described above. Do you know of any combinations?
Thanks in advance,
James B.
James
in my opinion this combination is not possible. But whats the business background?
Do you have costs which are not related to resources?
Regards
Dieter
Hi James,
Go to Enterprise --> Project, select your current project. From Project detail, select Calculation Tabs, Resource Assignments, remove the check next to "Recalculate Actual Units and Cost when duration % complete changes".
HTH.
