(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
Hello eveyone,
I need help figuring out how to set up a resource to track an expense that is paid out in installments.
Currently I have to create four different activities in a WBS and assign the corresponding expense for that timeline. I want to be able to assign a resource to a single activity and split how the payments are actually made to the vendor as these are large dollar amounts and we want a better way to track the cash flow.
I've tried to set this up but when I run the schedule, the dollar figures get changed and they grow exponentially.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

I'm trying to make four payments of 20%, 20%, 20% and 40% of the total spread out over 15 months.
As for the erroneous dollar figures, I realized it was due to how I set up the maximum units per time and I made adjustments. The issue is when I run the schedule after I split up the units to what I want them to be and where I want to see them, Primavera changes my resource usage and divides up my units again.
What is the payments system you are trying to model? Are we talking X% on delivery, Y% on install, etc? Or $X per month for Y months? Or some other arrangement?
and please describe the procedure you've used which is erronously giving you exponential growth in $
Hi Mark
