PRJ: Resource Cost May Increase When Leveling
This article was previously published under Q113694
After you level a project, the total cost of a summary task may increase.
If a resource has been assigned to a summary task, and if delay was added
to the subordinate tasks after leveling, the summary task's duration will be extended. This extended duration will cause the total cost of the summary task to increase.
To ensure that cost is not increased when you level a project, do not assign resources to summary tasks.
When you assign a resource to a summary task, the resource should not be
working on subordinate tasks for that summary task. Resources assigned to a
summary task should represent the person who is in charge of the total
duration of all the subordinate tasks for that summary task. When a summary
task's duration is extended, the workload of the resource responsible for
the summary task also increases.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
