When Budget Cost Resources is assigned Project Summary Progress is Disabled

When i create a Budget Cost Resource > assigned this resource to the project summary task > input the value, the "Summary Progress" indicator Bar on the Gantt chart, in project center for example, disappears. I remove the budget resource
and the progress bar reappears. I have searched extensively and find no info. I can't believe this is intended.

What Is The Difference Between Budget Cost And Regular Cost For Resources?

What's the difference betwee budget cost and regular cost for resources?
Here is the explanation which I didn't understand from the book;
In planning your departmental retreat, suppose you
have specific budget targets
for certain cost categories, $2,500
for travel expenses, $500 for printing,
and $1,000 for conference room rentals. Using Project’s budget resource
feature, you can define your budget
for different categories
of items. You can then group your resources to
com-pare your budgeted
costs to your planned costs. This way, you
can view your travel budget
of $2,500 side by side with your planned
costs of, say, $3,700,
and immedi- ately see that your next
goal is to find a way to trim those travel
costs.

Hi,
You have to differenciate the proejct budget from the project cost:
The project budget is the amount of money which has been allocated to your project by the executive board based on the estimation you provided. This is not meant to be changed unless you go through a change request process, justifying why you need to change
(increase) the budget, meaning asking more money. Consequently it will not be related in MS Project with the tasks, assignments. It is entered on the project summary and can be meanly used in portfolio reports where you can consolidate yours budgets (you can
have several different budgets) among a set of projects.
The project cost is something which lives, changes along the project lifecycle. It is meant to be updated on a weekly or biweekly basis from the team members tasks updates approved by the project manager. Then the PM updates the remaining work thus the project
cost.
Hope this helps,

You say that the budget cost is total money which committee gave you for the project.
But the book refer budget cost for every resource. I don't understand that.
" In planning your departmental retreat, suppose you
have specific budget targets
for certain cost categories, $2,500
for travel expenses, $500 for printing,
and $1,000 for conference room rentals. Using Project’s budget resource

can view your travel budget
of $2,500 side by side with your planned
costs of, say, $3,700,
and immedi- ately see that your next
goal is to find a way to trim those travel
costs. "
For example here travel budget cost is 2500 whereas planned cost is 3700. Planned cost of travel expense is created by the project manager. Who does define travel budget cost?
Let's say an employee's cost is 20 dollars per hour and I write it on the project. So how much is this employee's budget cost, Who does define it, From whom do I learn that data?

Assigning budget profile to already existing project

Hi All,
Please suggest how can we assign budget profile to already existing project .

Hi Vishal,
You can go the Project builder, open the particular project and in the detail screen of the project definition, enter the budget profile in the control data tab page.
Or goto SPRO->Project system->Costs->Budget->Stipulate default budget profile for Project definition and assing the bedget profile.
Or enter the Budget profile in the Controlling tab page of the Project profile.
You can do all these for existing projects.

MS Project Very Slow and Project Files Large when Using Shared Resource Pool

Hello,
We are using MS Project 2010 Professional in our organization and using a shared resource pool so we can easily identify resource conflicts. When we started this process many months ago the resource pool worked great. Now that we have nearly
all of our projects (~40) using the resource pool, it has become essentially unusable. Each project file that is sharing the resource pool is 12 MB or greater in file size, and most of the project files contain less than 100 lines. Saving any file
takes ~4 minutes. As a result, many of the resource managers and project managers are starting to avoid using MS Project which is undermining our original intent.
Any thoughts on what we could try to regain the usability, make the file sizes smaller, improve save times, etc.? Will MS Project Server fix all of these issues?
Thanks,
Josh

If any of your PMs renamed, moved or over-wrote their project file whilst linked to the Resource Pool or a master, then the file may well have corrupted itself or the pool or both. With 40 files, you can guarantee one or more PMs will do one of the above,
so file corruption is a when, not if (2days or 2 years or more).
For 40 projects Project Server or any solution that copies data to a database so the resource data can be consolidated is needed. Project Server is not a simple application, it's a full server and requires proper training and processes to add value. And
it needs configuring by someone who knows what they're doing!
In the mean time try unattaching all project files from the pool, then create a new blank pool and re-attach.You will also need to File, Save as to repair each project file if needed. For bad corruption save as to a .xml format then re-import to a blank
project.
Or, create a new master each time by inserting all projects into a new blank project, but deselecting the Link option. All tasks are then copied and the resource data consolidated. Record a macro to make creating this very quick and easy (provided your network
isn't too slow).

Project Summary and Base Calendar Reports Error Message when Saving to Desktop from Server

We have a user that gets the following popup when she attempts to save file from the Server to her desktop:
"The Project Summary and Base Calendar reports cannot be opened, renamed, or deleted". The popup includes a red circle with a white "X" and an "OK" button. The OK button must be clicked 27 times
before the file will eventually save to the desktop.
I have been able to replicate this error when I try to save her file to my desktop, as well.
I can see from the Organizer that the Project Summary and Base Calendar reports are part of the Global, but not part of the file-specific reports while on the Server. This is true for other schedules in our enterprise, so I am not sure why this is
occurring. After performing the save and clicking "OK" 27 times, there is exactly 27 reports listed for this file in the Organizer, but the Project Summary and Base Calendar reports are the only two that did not transfer with the file.
What is going on here and why is it happening for just this file? It feels like we are getting into a contention issue between the local Global.MPT and the Enterprise Global.
We are on Project Server v2010 SP2.

Thanks for your feedback Chris!
When you open the organizer, check that you don't have for the project in question any enterprise object on the project side.
Have you installed the
latest PS2010 CU? A more radical way for reparing a file is to export it as an XML file and save/publish it back on Project Server as an MPP file. But the project UID will change thus it will cause trouble
in case you have timesheets. You could also try to delete the project and restore it (assuming you have the daily backup in place).
Hope this helps,

Hi Prabu,
Just do a quick check if there is any custom implementation in Project management side. This may occur most probably due to not defining the navigations properly or if any modifications in the Define Navigation part of SPRO. Raising a ticket to your BASIS team might help some time to resolve this. Last option is OSS notes.

CO-PC Cost components are not assigned when actual cost was posted

Hi Expert,
I estimate material cost by Tcode CK11N, the result is cost components were assigned to plan cost. It's okay. But, I have a problem when posting actual cost.
After actual cost was posted by confirming backflush, I run Tcode KKBC_PKO to check again, but Cost Component field is not assigned to actual cost.
Please tell me the reason.
Regard,

Hi,
Thank for your answer.
I will check Cost component Structure, and ensure that all cost elements were assigned.
Additional, cost components were assigned to PLAN cost, but not assigned to ACTUAL cost.
Do I have to configure something more?

How can I edit budgeted cost/unit in excel and then import into P6?

I would like to edit resource assignements (budgeted cost/unit) month by month in an excel file, and then import it into P6. Is this possible?
It seems that the resource assignments month by month cannot be exported to an excel file. Is there anyone who can help me find a solution to this problem?
Thanks a lot.
By the way, I foud I can use the reporting function to get the excel file with month by month resource assignment information and can edit the values, but I cannot then import the changes into P6.

not sure if this helps at all, but..
when you refer to importing units (or costs) by period, do you mean past financial period actual data or future bucket planning data ?
if it's the former, you can select corresponding financial period fields (period actual units and/or cost) for export to excell. unfortunately not sure why they are marked (*) which means they cannot be modified and reimported just as easily.
an update of the same fields in the P6 database can be performed through P6 Timesheets (or similar solutions) through SDK (and possibly API or Webservices).
if it's the latter, i don't see how *"future bucket planning" or any other non-linear distribution* (which can be a bit too much and quite time consuming in p6), can be made easier in excell.
i think predefined non-linear resource curves are a good compromise, but if that doesn't suit your needs, you can define *"custom resource curves"* of your own for resource assignments using the resource usage spreadsheet.
you would need to enter values for budgeted units for several future intervals (depending on the timescale)
e.g. for months 1 to 4, you manually set budgeted units to 1, 0, 2 and 4h respectively, resulting in a total of budgeted units for the assignment of 7h.
if you then modify the 7h to 70h, the sistem will adjust the period values proportionally to the initial values, resulting 10, 0, 20 and 40 h respectively.
best of luck

How to transfer project cost of inventory to project

Hi, there
I created a Purchase Order with destination of inventory and associated with project and task. After approved, I received goods of the PO to a project loactor.
I don't know what to do next so that I can see cost of the receipt updated to the PSI.
My step:
1. run the cost processor
2. run the PRC: Transaction Import (Parameter:inventory)
3. run the Update Project Summary Amounts
But it doesn't work. It only works when I do the Miscellaneous issue to a project.
Edited by: 909822 on 2012-2-16 下午5:20

Hi
There is not special method.
You willl need to zero the amount / quantity on the original budget line and enter the required amount / quantity on the new GL period or new task or new project.

Cost resources not included in EV calculations

I am trying to figure out the logic behind this. When you are looking at all of the costs of a project to compute EV, cost resources should be included. Material resource values, work resource values and fixed costs are included. What
is the reason that cost resources have been excluded? In my opinion this is not correct and they should be included. Many of my clients use cost resources for the flat amount contractors performing jobs where hours collection is not needed. They
also use them for added costs to the project like travel and equipment rentals. Cost resource values become part of the baseline value - why not EV?
Any ideas??
Ellen Lehnert, PMP, MCT [email protected] www.lehnertcs.com Training/Consulting/Author

Ellen and I have been having an email conversation and I see what she is reporting. If you have assign both work and material resources and only update the material resource "actual work" the % complete does not update. However, if
you update the % complete, both a work resource and materials resources get "actual work".
So, the moral of the story seems to be: (1) If using both work and material resources on a single task, update the actual work for both resources to show "progress". or (2) assign only material resources to tasks.
I guess I don't see a huge issue with material and work resources assigned - as the bricks (in our example) cannot lay themselves - a bricklayer (work) is required.

Problem with loading budgeted cost in P6.7

Dear All,
I am using P6 ver 7.
When I add a new resourse to load budgeted cost, already loaded resourse budgeted cost become zero.
Help me please

Hello,
Are you adding the resource to a single activity? Or are you adding the resource to multiple activities through Excel? You may need to play around with the At Completion Cost to achieve your desired result.
Hope this helps!

Analysis service cubes - Utilisation report, how to extract resource, team assignment information

Hi,
I am using Excel 2013 and attached an external data source from analysis services OLAP cube that Project Server 2013 builds.
The cube I am using is portfolio analyser.
I would like categorise the resources by which team they are part of firstly, i.e. Project Management, Technical Services, Delivery
I have created a PowerPivot table and would like group each user by team and then by resource name, capacity, work and availability. Time across the top, so I can see this for Year, month, and weekly utilisation.
How can I get the team that each is resource is assigned from this cube?
Thanks.

Hi Guillaume,
I think the field I require is listed in the Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables section of PWA, however I believe it was a default field that came pre-configured OOB after install. The exact field I require is located if you go to; PWA Settings
> Security >Manage Users > Select User> Team Details > Team Name.
As you can see by the description next team name, there are instructions advising on how to populate the team names for your organisation. So it was a pre-configured field.
Team Details
Team Details are optional and are used to define team membership and the team resource that represents a team. Before you set these options use "Server Settings"/"Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables" to create a lookup table that
contains your team names, and edit the "Team Name" resource custom field to use this lookup table.
Team Name is used to indicate team membership - each resource in a team will have the same value for Team Name.
The Team Assignment Pool check box is selected for the team resource, used when assigning tasks to the team. Often a generic resource will be used with the assignment owner field set as the team manager.
So I have entered in all my appropriate organisation team names in the Lookup Table for Custom Field; Team.
I have assigned each resource to one of the team names.
Now I would like to create a PowerPivot Table and incorporate the resource team to be able to create a utilisation report based on each team within my organisation.
After receiving the link from you above I have gone to central admin > Service Application > Project Server Service Application > OLAP Database Management > Configuration of Cube > Cube Dimensions > Resource >
I have added "Team_Resource" to the selected dimension list. Then I completed a "Build Now".
When I go back to my PowerPivot Excel sheet and refresh data I am able to see the new field however, it is not the field that I need.
Can you confirm which field I would need to add?
Is this field a multi field?
Appreciate your assistance.
Thanks
