Dieter;
Right, but in my case I use fixed units and the LOE/Hammock activity moves as the underlying activities move - just as I was hoping.
Dennis
I dont know your understanding of "regular".
For resource assignments you have a parameter
"calculate cost from units" Switch off, then costs will be indepentent from units
On activity level: duration type set to "fixed duration and units", then units will remain constant independent from the duration.

Thanks for the reply, but what I was after was whether or not a P6 LOE activity behaved as a regular activity. That is, would its costs change as its duration changed driven by the underlying activities.
In Pertmaster, LOE activities are called hammocks and do behave as expected, so indirect costs can be effectively modeled.
Again, thanks for the input.
Not really up with this sort of request so Ill give it my best.
If the delay you are talking about has a direct effect on the critical path then yes, or no, depending on the contract you have signed into.
But usually yes if it critical connected.
Indirect cost poses more questions, therefore if company thinks they are delayed, get time booking, receipts, charges, all sorts. If your company bean counters arent up to it your basically fucked as a company. Bail.

"fixed units" and "fixed duration and units" for LoE has the same behaviour because they have no own duration.
