Hi,
one of my Blog readers has a problem:
“Good morning, Sir.
I have a slight problem with my project. For some tasks the cost of one resource for tasks is 0$. We have the resource standard rate is 75$/hr for that resource in Resource Center section.
When I tried to create new sample task such as “paint the wall “with the same resource, we assign 1 day of work, and the cost is show up for 600$.
So what is the reason for the missing cost-tasks? and How can we fix it?”
There is a easy way to do it!
First I will make two Tasks for my Project:
I will create one Resource:
Now I will assign Resource to Task 1, and Task 2.
Let’s look at the Cost Table:
and:
But for the Task 2, I want $0 of costs. Piece of cake!
First I will apply Resource Usage View:
and I will get:
Now I will apply Table B (with $0 rate) for the Task 2:
and, back to the Cost Table:
As you can see, Task 2 has Total Cost=$0.
Regards,
