An incorrect cost value is displayed for cost resources when you enter a timephased cost in Project 2007

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario in Microsoft Office Project 2007:
  • You change the Work is entered in setting on the Schedule tab under Options.
  • You assign a cost resource to the new task.
  • You add a cost to the cost resource in the Task Usage view.
In this scenario, an incorrect cost value is displayed for cost resources when you enter a timephased cost for a day.

This problem may also occur when the Work is entered in option is set correctly. For example, this problem may occur if you enter a timephased cost that occurs on a specific level, such as Weeks or Months.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the Work is entered in setting is not set to Hours.

In this case, the cost value that is entered is divided by the "hours-per-day" setting. This problem also occurs when you change the Work is entered in setting to Weeks or to Months.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, change the Work is entered in setting to Hours.

Note To locate this setting, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the Schedule tab.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Office Project Professional 2007
  • Microsoft Office Project Standard 2007

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.
