After further exploration, I realised that even if I use “rate source” as “override”, when I move the bar, the budgeted cost automatically switches to the formula “budgeted cost=original duration x unit / price”. Only after I uncheck the “Calculate costs from units” under “resources”, can I assign budgeted cost to an activity without being affected by the movement of the bar.
Also, I can go to “Project > Resource Assignment” to get early and late cost distribution. This is good enough for me to copy the data to Excel.
Thanks a lot. It works when I choose the “rate source” as “override” under "resource" of the activity detail.
But for late dates, there is no figure to show the cost distribution, only the graph. I still need to explore the report part to find both early and late dates cost load distribution so that I can export to Excell for S curve presentation.
Thanks and regard.

View Activities, detail tab resources you can ad columns. Moe mouse into that area --> right click --> columns. In the category general you can find "rate source". To learn the meaning of a data item switch on "hint help", e.g. view --> hint help.
In genera Primavera takes the budgeted costs from a resource rate. Here you can indicate to use the budgeted price you entered.

Can you please elaborate it?

Did you check for "Rate source"="override" together with the resource usage profile or -spreadsheet?
