PRJ98: Incorrect BCWP for Resource Assignment with Cost/Use (180922)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Project 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q180922 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, in the Task Usage or Resource Usage view, the
Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP) field for a resource assignment may
contain an incorrect value. The BCWP field for the task however shows the
correct value.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you assign a cost per use (Cost/Use) to a
resource, and then assign this resource to a task that is between 0 and 100
percent complete.
Microsoft Project treats the cost per use as a prorated cost for the
resource assignment. Instead, cost per use should be assigned at the
beginning or end of the assignment. This only occurs when the task's
percent complete is either 0 or 100 percent.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
Project listed above.
