I am working in Primavera P6 version 8.2. I can't explain why I'm seeing different behaviour in different files, given that I believe I am building them all the same way. Clearly, something is different, but I can't find it.
Specifically, when I mark progress for activities, in some of my files P6 will assign Actual Costs to that activity, and in some of my files it won't. My preference is to have Actual Costs not automatically assigned.
My hunt around the web and in Paul Harris' book led to the following ideas, but the settings appear to be the same in both comparator files, indicating that they are not what's different:
- "Calculate costs from units" in the Resources tab (turn on);
- "Auto Compute Actuals" for activities (turned off);
I am stumped. Suggestions?
