How do I change Resource Cost Center only and retain historical cost center data?

How would a Project Server Admin accommodate changes in the resource's cost center itself?
For example, Ken (timesheet submitter) records Feb time in cost center C1, but then transfers to a new team, which is in cost center C2 on Mar 1st.
When I change his cost center at the resource level, reporting indicates all of his previous C1 time as a resource under the C2 cost center, and all of his C1 time looks like it's incorrectly in C2.
I am thinking about adding custom resource fields to track these changes, but it seems like a lot of extra work, if something already exists that I can use.
Thanks,
Marty

Marty,
AFAIK, there is no way to do this OOB as Resource Fields are not 'time-phased'.
A 'possible' alternative, like you mentioned, could be be to use custom fields to track, the change (like Effective Date, Old Cost Center), and then somehow write a query to consider the old cost center between the dates. I have not tried this personally,
just a thought.
Cheers,

  • I added apps by syncing with a Mac.  It was under my husband's ACCT. When I tried to update apps on my iPad, it was his account.  How do I change this?  It only happens when I try to update apps

    I added apps by syncing with a Mac.  It was under my husband's ACCT. When I tried to update apps on my iPad, it was his account.  How do I change this?  It only happens when I try to update apps

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    If they were purchased from your husbands account, then they will have to update using that account.

    Have you formatted it for Mac using Disk Utility?
    If not, open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) and select the drive to the left. Make sure that you select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and then the erase button.
    If you have already formatted the drive, call back...

  • How do I change the lable of next and previous button in GAF of FPM

    Hi Experts,
    How do I change the label of next and previous button in GAF application using FPM in each individual step?
    Thanks!

    Hello Anthony,
    as far as I am aware only the final step before the confirmation screen can be changed. Which you can do by clicking on it in the configuration view - click on the last but one step - and click on the next button - at the bottom of the screen you'll get a view where you can change the label of the step.
    There is some logic in this - in that it does make for a more consistent user experience across various apps.
    It's different to how we could do things in Java - but it's nice that there is a certain level of conformity across FPM apps.
    hope this helps,
    Cheers,
    Chris

  • I gave my wife a new Ipad 2 she gave me hers old one How do I change her name to mine and get access to my emails

    I gave my wife an ipad 2 she gave me her old ipad how do I change her detail to me and access my email account on her Ipad
    This will be I guess the first of many questions
    Thanks

    You really should download and read the user guide that roaminggnome gave you the link for in the post above.
    If you want to totally start from scratch and erase all of her content go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This removes everything from the device and returns it to out of the box status. You can also restore the iPad as a new device in iTunes and that erases everything as well. This article explains that process.

    If you want to rename the iPad, connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Double click on the text of the iPad's name on the left grey source list of iTunes and you can change the name of the iPad. When you are finished typing in the new name, hit the return key on your keyboard. This article explains it for you.

    You will want to delete her mail accounts on the iPad if you have not done so already and set up your own mail accounts. This article will tell you how to do that.

  • How can I change my icloud email details and password on icloud

    how can I change my icloud email details and password on my iphone 5s tried all day without success, I have changed my apple ID and password thats okay.
    Joan

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps

    The apps bought using one Apple ID are forever tied to the Apple ID used. Apple ID cannot be transfered or merged. To update those apps, you need to sign in with the Apple ID that was used during purchase.

    You are on the UK Store. Scroll to bottom right, click on the USA flag to switch to the American store. Though you'll have to set up an account there too.
