Hi guys!

Just want to seek any advice/solution on my problem regarding Budgeted Cost in P3.

I got a cost loaded program. It has Budgeted Costs however, when i checked the Data for Resources, I noticed that the Price/Unit for each Resource is 0. This is very odd because there is total cost for each activity but  the price/unit of any resources it has is 0. This Budgeted Cost which I have displayed is not a Custom Data, as I checked.

Any same experience I am having? Please advise.

Thanks,

Ariel

Guys,

It is in the COST Tab in the activity form. It is a DIRECT INPUT that is why it has cost although the resource assignment has no price/unit or budgeted quantity.

 

Best regards,

Ariel

Hi Faiz!

Thank for your reply, Is P3 has EXPENSE tab?  I think it has not & can't find it, only in P6 & higher versions...

 

Thanks,

Ariel

Hello Ariel,

The Cost you are seeing is may be the Expense Cost loaded Directly in The Expense Tab.

Here is the screen shot of what I am saying, really this is very strange...How is these Budgeted Cost calculated by the P3 if Price/Unit is 0???...I used to input budgeted cost by assigning a resource with 1 as "Price/Unit" and the cost as the "Budgeted Quantity" to minimize the my Resources.
