Cost plans - Migrating Resource Plans to Assignments

[Alex2506]

Hi SPM Community, 

We're moving to Resource Assignments and we'd like to automate the creation of cost plans rather than using the UI action 'generate labor costs'. Using the code from this UI action, I created a business rule which seems to be working. 

However, when we migrate Resource Plans to assignments, it's creating new cost plans as technically new resource assignments are created in the system, thus the business rule runs. Has anyone got any suggestions to get around this or a better method of doing this?

Thank you!

Does this run everytime there is an update to a resource assignment? The reason its not automated out of the box is because of performance concerns. As the generate labor costs process reviews all resource assignments before it updates the cost plans, if a user is making 20 updates quickly in the project ws using the resource pane, it triggers the logic 20 times.

Just on Insert for now. We're playing around with it and testing the functionality. Are they any plans to automate this going forward?

The performance issue is turning out to be a blocker. We are continuing to explore the possibility of automating it.
