SPM & Resource Planning question...
In our production instance there are many cases where Cost Plan records with values in the Total Planned Cost field refer to Resource Plan records that have been cancelled by the system. As expected, these cancelled Resource Plan records have a Planned Cost of 0, yet the related Cost Plan records have a value in Total Planned Cost field. I'm having trouble explaining why the Resource Plans are cancelled by the system and why the related Cost Plans aren't also nullified.
I suspect the resource plan records are being cancelled because the business rule: 'Move Plan State' is triggered when the related Project's start & end dates are manually changed and the changes are cascaded to the Resource Plan's start_date &/or end_date although, I can't seem to re-create the issue manually.
This presents a reporting issue that is making it hard to know exactly how many hours were planned on a project.
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
