Using Expenses in P6

Hi

Currently i'm working with a schedule where i use expenses tab to insert the cost for all the activities. Now i'm facing a problem where when i update the progress at the status tab, the Actual Cost and Remaining Cost don't change. What i know is it suppose to change according to the percentage we enter in the status tab right? Please help.

Hi David Kelly.

Really appriciate your reply. 

Even if i schedule to a later date of the Planned Start of those activites, it still doesn't change.

Do you have any suggestion on any other way to create a schedule with cost loading rather than resource loading?

thanks.

Expenses do not "auto compute" unless you set them up that way - and I see you have, BUT then you have our old friends the Planned Start and Planned Finish dates to navigate.  The scheduled per cent complete value of 0 suggests that this activity has a finish date ahead of the Planned Start, so the Auto Compute function (which works on Planned Dates) has not kicked in.

 

 

Global Change can't help - since activity percent complete is not available in the Project expenses part of Global change.

Good luck!

 

Paul Harris and Ron Winter have written extensivly about Planned Start and Finish dates.  EVERY P6 user should read what they have written.
