Yours was a general info about the cost, youre correct. But the thread (correct me Uly if I am wrong) was about applying cost to activities ignoring the allocation of resources, and Uly came up with a 0 result on the cost tab. He solved the problem in P5, P5 allows allocation of cost to activities even without resources as he said.
In P3 you cant do the same. You have to assign a resource first then apply cost. A lot of Contractors works the same simple and purely monetary budget tracking only rather than maximizing the outputs of P3..P5..so on.
Youre right that in P3 cost should be associated with a resource, but you can assign only one resource (you can call it "Cash or Cost") for all activities for purely monetary budget & EVM tracking purposes only.

Thank for your sincere reply , I have found already the root cause why it is happening. I used to work in Primavera P5 wherein you can enter cost directly without having resource allocation, whereas, in P3 it works differently, you need to have an entry in both resource and cost tab;
thanks for such valuable response..

cost goes with the resource! cost is cost, whatever it is, it has always one common unit! it doesnt matter if you got multiple resources!
