Hi all planners,
I am using ms project-2007 for my scheduling works. I have created a schedule with work resource,cost resource and did save baseline. Now i want to change the values in actual cost column of cost resource based on the site progress but when i tried to do so, i got a problem. When i increase the value of actual cost more than that of baseline cost , the duration of the particular activity is also changing.
I increased the actual cost because of more wastage of materials in the particular activity. I didn't spend more manpower or duration.
Is there a way to enter the actual cost without disturbing the duration of the activity?
What am i missing?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram

Hi kumar,
The task is fixed work and effort driven. I have assigend work resource and cost resource. I didnt assign material resource. I entered the material value as a cost resource for the activity.
Thanks in advance,

Hi bala
can you say what is the task type. Is it Fixed duration, fixed unit or Fixed work. another thing you have have to check that the activity is effort driven or not. Have you enter material resource.
