Efficiently Updating Resource Cost Rate Tables

Hi gang,
Is it possible in version (server) 2010 to update resources' cost rates tables in bulk? I.e., we would like edit the resource profile for a set of resources... e.g., edit table A, B, and C with a common rate (and effective date). Is this possible
without VBA?

Hi François,
Our company has developed a VBA app that does this and bit more. It allows you to export and / or import resource data to and from MS Project and Excel, including all the cost rate tables and their effective dates.
Here is a short video that demos what and how it does it: http://www.screencast.com/t/HGTb5FMF
If it is something that you would be interested in, feel free to contact me at: [email protected]

Managing Resource Cost Rate Tables in OData

The ProjectData API doesn't expose the cost rate tables for a resource. Is it possible to update Cost Rate "A" and specify effective dates? I don't see this exposed in the API. Only the standard and overtime rates (of "A" which is the
default) are exposed. Anyone know if this simply isn't possible?

Hi Roland,
As per this
link and since the cost rate table is local (in the mpp), you cannot use PSI to update it. On the contrary, standard and overtime rates are enterprise data so exposed.
Hope this helps,

Can you set a Cost Rate Table to be used for an entire project

In earlier versions of project, the default cost rate table (A) is used unless changed by the user for each assignment. In 2010, is it possible to define which cost rate table to use for the entire project, not at the assignment level?
Thanks.

Hi melduncan,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project forum:)
I assume you want project to have a default cost rate, so why not set the cost rate details into A to begin with, You could then set this as a template from which you initiate all your new projects see FAQ
Item: 8. New Project Template. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm
Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)

Using multiple resource cost rates in Project Server 2013

Greetings,
We use Project Server 2013 to manage resources that often perform multiple roles within projects and also have different rates between projects. The Standard Rate from the user's profile is somewhat helpful but, as we all know, it carries over to every
project that the resource is part of.
I have tried opening Project Professional 2013 and using the additional Cost tabs in the user's information to enter different rates in tabs, B, C, D and E (tab A is the default Standard Rate from Project Server).
My experience has been that as soon as I close and check in the project file, this data disappears. Next time I open the file the default rate is available but tabs B-E are blank. This behavior does not occur if I open a stand-alone project
file not connected to Project Server.
I realize that Project is not meant to be a financial management tool and has its limitations but I'm looking for suggestions and would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
Ray

Dale is right in that an Enterprise Resource can only have its rates (or any details) set by the administrator. Unfortunately you are limited to 5 rates (A-E).
I have done a macro for a client that reads rates for a resource for a project from a database (or Excel) every time the project is opened. So you see the correct rates and calculated costs.
These rates get over-written next time you open the project, hence the need for the macro to update rates every time the project is opened.
Another option in the macro is to zero the rates so a copy can be emailed to clients etc without sensitive rates data.

Resource standard rate is not aligned in PWA resource center view

Hello everyone,
I'm encountering an issue on the alignment of the rate display in Project Server Resource Center:
As you can see the rate reflected in the resource center is not the one which should be based on what we see in MS Project.
the rate is OK while editing the resource in PWA.
Here is what I already thought about:
All servers have the same time and date which is the right one
I have tried to save again the resource
It happens on several resources on this instance
the problem is not here on another PWA on the same servers
the problem is not present in our QA env (Other servers)
I'm now refering to you if you have any idea why the server is not displaying the right resource rate.
Regards

Just a though Jéjé.
Have you tried to reset the rate table (keep just 1 rate with no "date d'effet", save it, update again the rate table and see if it works.
Hope this helps,

How to update the COST column using another table's column

Dear All,
I have table:
table parts: pno, pname, qoh, price, olevel
table orders: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped
table odetails: ono, pno, qty
view:orders_view: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped,sum(qty*price)order_costview:odetails_view: ono, pno, qty, (qty*price)cost
after I update the price in parts, I need to update COST and ORDER_COST too. The orders_view does not have pno, qty, and price, the odetails_view does not have price, how can I update the COST and ORDER_COST. Please help and Thanks in advance!!!
I wrote the update the price in parts:
create or replace procedure change_price(ppno in parts.pno%type, pprice in parts.price%type) as
begin
    update parts
    set price = pprice
    where pno = ppno;
end;
show errorsthis procedure works fine.
I wrote the trigger:
create or replace trigger update_orders_v
after update of price on parts
for each row
begin
    update orders_view
    set order_cost = sum(parts.(:new.price)*parts.qty)
    where parts.pno = :new.pno;
end;
show errorsIt gives me:Errors for TRIGGER UPDATE_ORDERS_V:

You could add the columns to the tables and then you would need a trigger to update those columns. However, you could just as easily select the price * qty to get the cost, without creating an additional column or trigger. I have no idea what you might want to do with a global temporary table. I think you need to explain what your purpose is, before any of us can suggest the best method. Since I have already demonstrated an update with a view, I will demonstrate an update with the cost column added to the odetails table and a trigger as you asked about. Notice that you will need triggers on both tables, the one that has qty and the one that has price.

Efficient way of updating data to database table

what is the efficient way of updating data to database table .
i have huge amount of data in my internal table , how to use update statement in this case .
1. database table having 20 fields ,
2. one is key field and suppose 20 th field i want to change .
3. I have data for only 2 fields , i.e for ( 1 st and last 20 th field ) .
i can't use update statement in loop , as it is not good practice(hits database several times ) .
do it effects all the 20 fields for particular record .

Hi,
Use UPDATE statement , check below description from SAP help.
UPDATE dbtab FROM TABLE itab. or UPDATE (dbtabname) FROM TABLE itab.
Effect
Mass update of several lines in a database table.Here, the primary key for identifying the lines tobe updated and the values to be changed are taken from the lines of theinternal table itab.
The system field SY-DBCNT contains the number of updated lines,i.e. the number of lines in the internal table itab which havekey values corresponding to lines in the database table.

Can someone help me out with this, thanks.

I think there is some confusion.
"Mass Edit Material Costs" program is used to apply new activity rates to item costs. For this, you don't have to insert records in the interface. You have to define/update the new activity rates using screen.
To process records in the cost interface tables, you have to run the "Cost Import Process" program.
For more details, refer to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/html/comnls/us/cst/settas06.htm

Debit and Credit notes not to update COPA cost of sales when doing price ad

Hi Experts,
Please help me to fix the below issue.
When we correct price adjustments on customer accounts we use debit and credit notes to do these price corrections. We first process a ZCR order type with reference to the original invoice to reverse the transaction and then we process a debit meme request ZDR with the correct details to invoice the customer correctly.
These credit and Debit memo request are purley for pricing problems and do not effect cost of sales. Currently these Debit and credit memos are updating the cost of Sales value field (COS on Market Price - VV013) .
This creates a problem since the credit and debit memo happen in subsequent months e.g. The credit memo is reversed at the old cost of sales value since SAP keeps a reference to the cost of sales at that time but the debit memo creates the cost sales at the new standard cost which is obviously not the same as the original cost of sales. We therefore sit with differences which will not equal FI since FI cost of sales was updated with the goods issue price in the month that the goods issue happened.
We therefore need to zerorise the following value fields when doing ZDR dedit memo and billing type ZL2 and ZCR credit memo billing type ZG2.
Gross Weight in KG VV004
Invoiced Qty KG net VV002
Invoiced Qty in L VV001
Invoiced Qty in L15 VV003
Invoiced Quantity VV005
COS on Market Price VV013
VV001 to VV005 are quantity fields and VV013 is Value field.
Please help me how to fix the issue.
Regards,
Amar.

Hi,
Sorry, I probably confused things by mentioning Revenue. Your settings are correct, with Revenue defined as a revenue element (11) rather than a cost element (1).
With respect to WIP (P&L), I would create it as a cost element, since it represents the absorption of cost centre costs and materials into the production of goods, even though the goods are not yet complete. When the goods are completed they will be credited in CO-OM and debited to stock using a similar entry. The impact of these credits (to WIP or to Stock) is to move costs out of CO-OM into the goods produced (CoGS). In CO-OM, the net result of Costs less credits to WIP/Stock, indicates the efficiency of your cost centres or the accuracy of your standards.
I would also create the manufacturing variance accounts as Cost Elements and settle them back to your production costs centres (or possibly CO-PA if you used it), since they are also a reflection of the efficiency of your cost centres - i.e. if a Cost Centre manager is not achieving the standards, (s)he should be accountable for the variance, and if you are concerned about reconciling CO-OM and the costs in P&L, you won't reconcile if the variances aren't posted back to CO.

Marc

OSP resource cost debited in 'Purchase Price Variance'

Hi all
Can you help me how to fix the issue of 'OSP resource cost' debited in 'Purchase Price Variance' instead of WIP cost.

Note that the costing followed is 'Average'.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Raffath,
You veriy the rate in both resource window and in P.O, there may be a scope that P.O may be ammended and Resource rate may not be changed, this difference will be affected in PPV account.

FTXP: Mass Update US Tax Rate for procedure TAXUSJ

Hi,
I had searched here and there about the answer for the best way to mass update the tax rate for US TAXUSJ based on the jurisdiction code and transaction key (T030K-KTOSL). I attempted to use BDC recording but it doesn't work as FTXP required manual processing.
So is there any better solution on this? I am trying to direct update to database in the worst case if can't find any better solution.
In this case, I tried to find any table that consist of country code, procedure, tax jurisdiction, tax rate, valid from, transaction key. But it is none. I am confuse on which is the correct tables to update. I searched net and there are suggestions on these tables (A053, KONH, KONP, T007A, T007V, T030K, A003). But how is the linkage on these tables?Which one is the correct table to update?
Thanks for your time for reading this.

Thanks Mark,
That's what i suspected the case, will log the itar later when i am free.
Actually my main issue is that I am using forms 9i to view and edit the view tables that are based on the xml schema. Forms is giving me problem in accessing complicating views.
I think my only solution is to:
1)create a custom table updated by the view table.
2)Create my form block based on custom table.
3)update the xml data using updateXML() from the custom table.
