assigning resource to milestone activity

Dear Planners,

I am user of Primavera, but the company I am working with is using MS Project 2010, the concepts are mainly the same with different views, but I well know that in Primavera you can not assign resourse or cost to the activity, however in MS project I think you can?

Best,

Moutaz

I agree with Mike, what's the point of assigning resources to a milestone?

Assign your resources or cost to the activities that would make you achieve the milestone.

In MS Project you can have 3 types of resources:

  • Work
  • Material
  • Cost

All 3 of them can be assigned to a milestone, however only Material and Cost may influence the cost of the milestone for obvouse reasons.

Cash from payment receipts become available on an instant or zero duration task. it is not that if you receive 800,000 Euros you cannot make immediate transfers/payments of the whole amount.

You might also want to schedule the activity based on meeting resource calendars.

Hi Moutaz

Since a milestone has zero duration any cost assigned to it would register zero.

So what is the point of trying?
