Resource / Cost Loading Schedule

I am seeking some ideas about Resource Loading and Cost Loading schedules in P6.
My Resources are the subcontractors on the project. Each Subcontractor is the Resource for series of activities. The Resource Type is "Labor" and we plug Labor Units for each activity to run the "Activity Usage Profile". The unit price is $1 to avoid the warnings in the "Project Integrity Report" but not to track cost.
I need to load the schedule with "Labor" cost and "Material" cost. I assigned two more resources to every activity:
1. "Labor Cost" with "Nonlabor" resource type.
2. “Material Cost” with “Material” Resource type.
The reason why the “Labor Cost” resource is nonlabor is because I don't want P6 to add labor units for both resources (Labor Units for subcontractor and Labor Units for Labor cost)
Is there a better way to load your schedule with labor units, labor cost and material cost?
Thanks,
Fouad

You are doing right but needs a bit correction.
Total Cost = Labor + Non Labor + Material + Expenses
Earned Value Calculations are based on Total Cost and not a specific type of cost.
I suggest using Price / Unit for labor = 0 and not 1 that means labor resources will not take part in cost for Earned Value Management.

Resource hours Loading Qucik Way

Oh Hi
Can you please tell me is there any qucik way to do resource hours loading from excel sheet into 1000 activities schedule from excel resource sheet.
Thanks in Advanced

Not sure, but you would have better luck under the P6 forums. I have had trouble loading cost accounts, but from what I understand hours should be successful. You will need to export the template from P6 to use, then insert the data from your excel file. The new file will then have to be inported by a P6 system admin.

Why resource cost in Oracle does not equal the total on the routing of Usage.

why resource cost in Oracle does not equal the total on the routing of Usage.

Hi Judy,
I could not reproduce your issue. Is your Project Server patched with the latest SP and CU?
Also can you reproduce this unexpected behavior with another project?
Can you split your screen from the resource usage view, display the resource form and click right on the grey part selecting "schedule"? Then you'll have the scheduled start and finish dates for the resource's assignments. This is to be sure that
you are not missing any parts of the assignments due to a wrong zoom in the timephased grid.
Hope this helps,

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.
Please note that the 'Standard Cost' in resource definition is disabled.
Note that the costing followed is 'Average'.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Raffath

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.

Shipment cost load to material

We have following scenario against which Freight cost are not loading to material in outbound delivery process.
Outbound delivery is created against Salse Order using delivery type LF. then we created shipment document then PGI and finally
Shipment Cost Document. Where is this shipment cost is posting?? There is no accounting document is generated for shipment cost. How will this cost load to Material.
The scenario has been tested for charging the freight cost to GL account in which the system is automatically creating a purchase order and service entry sheet but as soon as we change the Settlement Relevance in Item Category from X to A there is no accounting accounting document generated.

Rashid Masood

Same station resource with same schedule squence but the start date is diff

We are running ASCP capacity planning but found "Same station resource with same schedule squence but the start date is different". Does anyone know which parameters/setup may impact on this result or the root causes?
Regards,
Edward

Wesley,
I am a little confused about your scenario. I will assume that you are talking about the Planned orders that are generating the dependent requirements that are being seen by your Raw Material.
So, you have a material (not the Raw Material) that has the Material master settings that you mentioned above. This material has been planned, and MRP created two planned orders. These two planned orders have the same start date, but the dependent requirements dates that have been generated against your Raw Material are different. You do not want this to happen. Please confirm.
Dependent requirements of planned orders can be influenced by:
1. Dependent Rqments Settings in OPU5
2. Distribution Strategy OPB3/OPB4/OPB5
3. Lead Time offsets in the BOM
Ensure that these settings meet your business requirements.

Hi osu7582, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Did it ever work on the iBook?
Is it IMAP or POP account?
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, how much Memory free & Hard Disk space does it show?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted error on ICS file link

When clicking a link to an ICS iCal file on a webpage the error console shows a "Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted" error. Can someone independently confirm this?
The file is downloaded, however, but it does not automatically open in iCal like it should. The console error is fairly new, perhaps in the latest update? We've been trying to get Safari to automatically attempt to open ICS files in Calendar for several months, with various headers and such, without seeing that error. Now we've got two problems.
I read a post somewhere that this error is related to downloading files with "fake" URLs. We have been trying to deliver an ICS file straight from a PHP script, but I have also tested a link directly to an actual ICS file and get the same error.

Is there any standard report available in SAP thru which we can get the detail of these conditon PO wise?
I understand we can get the same thru activation of purchase accounting. Is there any other way avaialble in SAP to get conditonwise breakup.
Regards

Hi
In material master accounting view you can see every thing, for list of materials you can refer to the table, Material ledger is the one which carryies all incidental cost to materials

How does CEF perform equal and unequal cost load balancing?

hello
How does CEF perform equal and unequal cost load balancing?
thanks

Hello Wang,
it is only EIGRP that can perform load balancing over unequal cost links.
For equal cost links CEF allocates 16 buckets and maps them to the the physical links.
the result of a binary operation is used to associated a packet to an outgoing interface:
Source IP address EXOR DEstination IP Address EXOR hash
the hash is a seed that changes only at every reload.
Actually the last 4 bits are used so that each flow can be classified in one bucket.
then the outgoing interface is the one asscociated to the result of the exor operation.
Another way to see is that m bits are used so that 2^m is equal to N number of links (if N is even)
the rule is simple and pre-established
Hope to help
Giuseppe

Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted error

Whenever I click on a link to download a browser extension or anything in Safari it looks like the item is downloading but then it quits. There is a 'Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted' error in the web developer console. In regards to the Safari browser extension, the header is set to 'application/octet-stream'. Has anyone seen this? It is happening in Safari 6.0 and 6.1.

You can't download any file from any web page?

Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted

OSX 10.6.4
Safari 5.0.1
Clicking on a link to download a file in many different pages gives the error message: "Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted" in the error console from the developers menu. This happens on many different pages. I reset Safari, repaired permissions, etc. Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. I was searching for this error message myself and wound up back here, on work time no less!
This appears to be a bug/feature of Safari or one of the recent security updates. I am working on a web site where users download files and Safari is giving me this error. My production site also gives me this error and I would have noticed that earlier. It must be from the recent security update.
The cause is when a web site broadcasts a "fake" link to a file. You click on the link and a script, behind the scenes, generates the appropriate HTTP headers for the file you can and sends said file back to the user. I guess technically the frame load is being interrupted. I will have to investigate further, but there does not appear to be any error or problem. If I can't find anything I've done wrong or could do better, I will file a bug report on it.

Resources costing

hello ,please help,i have defined full bom and wip cycle ,and i have I am using average costing,so finally when i went to the WIP value summary form I found that the material calculation is right according to the quantity ,but the resource have the folowing:
EX : assembly quantity =100,
material costing is right BUT
resource costing =the right answer for 100 assembly+the cost for produce one assembly of that product.
why??and how to solve that??please its urgent.
thanks in advance.

Hi Gill,
Haven't you used the fiscal time in your second report, instead of time dimension?
Also try to copy your report from the first to the second file with the organizer.
The procedure is detailled

Background GATP based on LOAD Scheduling Step

Dear all,
We work with an integrated solution between ECC and APO.
During the sales Order entry, the system triggers a Background GATP in order to calculate a first MAD Date.
It seems that during this Background GATP the system doesn't read on APO side the Load Scheduling step based on the Start Location and The Means of Transport. From the condition analysis, I noticed that the system doesn't read the field Means of Transport.
The only way that I found to solve this issue was to map in the APO Customizing ( GATP => Transportation and Shipment Scheduling => Interfaces => Define assignment of Default Means of Transport to Shipping Conditions) The shipping condition to the means of Transport but this is only a one to one relation meaning that I cannot assign several MoT to the same Means of Transport.
Do you have any idea how can I try to manage that issue?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Kr,
JP

JP,
Looking at your analysis, I don't see shipping point. I quickly put this
together in my sandbox. This is what yours should look like.
You probably will only need one access, delete all that you have done so far and instead create a table for the items you mentioned above (shipping point / means of transport). Create the access from that table. .
Let me back off a bit. I suggest you THOROUGHLY read the link I provided. There is a fairly good description of all the steps you need to perform to make this work. Once you have read this, come back if you have any more questions.
Best Regards,

Resource - cost center - activity type

Hello,
I can see the link Resource - Cost center (in the resource master data)
I can see the link Activity type - cost element
I can see where the activity type's planned cost is done, for such or such cost center
I cannot see the relationship Resource - Activity type
isn't there any direct link or is it only an indirect link, through the cost center
Thanks for your help
KR - Loï

I need to post 2 diferent type of costs to 2 different accounts (cost elements) my question is what impact is if I mantain in one resource with cost center 1000 2 activity types, one is also linked to CC 1000 but the 2nd is linked to CC 2000
In the costing tab at the Resource there is a field for the cost center so my question is what are de implication with this cost center and the link between the activity types and the cost centers
you can maintain 2 cost element for two activity.
But you can't combine two cc in one resource
then you need to create two resource, one with cc 1000 and other with cc 2000,
the second question is, I have to maintain these 2 different cost at the time of confirmation, Is it correct that I mantain the cost of an HOUR in KP26 so when the confirmation happens I just have to say in COR6N that 15 hours were used so based on rate given in KP26 system will calculate and allocate that cost properly, Is this how it works?
as per the formula in OP54, assigned in resource with respect to activity.
at the time of actual booking, system will calculate the actual cost of the activity ( as per the formula maintained in resource)
Also I want to ask if like the activity described before I can have 2 of these attached to the same work center and same phase? I know I can have up to six per Resource but how is the confirmation done, in one step at COR6N you give the 6 parameters to each of the activities or you have to go one by one and saving in this transaction??
In resource for each activity ( parameter) you need to assign formula and activity type, while creating process, system will copy all the parameter and formula in process order, while booking in cor6n system will copy all the parameter.
