BUG Resource-related Cost field not recalculated in MS PROJECT 2013

Hi,

here is minor bug in MS PROJECT 2013, found by Eric Uyttewaal, my MVP friend.

First I am going to create New Project with Single Task (1 day duration):

I will now Create two Resources: Ted and Fred:

image

Yu can see that Standard Rate for Ted is $200, and for Fred is $200. In this View (Resource sheet) I will add two more columns: Cost, and Work:

image

Now I’m going to assign Ted to the Task:

image

and I’m going to look at the Resource sheet:

image

Everything is perfect: Ted will work 8 hours, and Cost will be 8 * $200 = $1600. Now I’m going to Replace Ted with Fred on that Task:

image

and I will get:

image

As you can see, Ted has Cost = $0, but Fred’s Cost field is not refreshed (it should be 8 hours * $300 = $2400)

and This is a Bug!

    I have stumbled across a similar bug in MS Project 2010. I had to re-enter the actual work and then it got recalculated

  2. GW says:

    Did you ever find out what the problem was here, I has a similar issue, when I change the 100% units for a resource, increase from 10% to 30%, the cost does not recalculate.

    Thanks
