How to create Expense Lines from Labor rates

[Sironi]

Hi,

Some one help me how to take Expense Line amount from Labor Rates.

i am using OOB script, as per Labor rate card  my Hourly_rate is 58.2$, but here is taking 100$ as default. How to Fix this.

1.we are maintaining all Users of Rate Lines under Default RateModel Only

2.we are NOT selecting any Rate Model on project level , it is always be empty in all projects, so system has to take always Default RateModel.

for that we updated RMRate (Script Include), as per this, if RateModel field is empty in Project , it will consider Default RateModel

Hi Sironi,

I replicated the same scenario in my personal developer instance. It is working fine.

The planned cost and actual cost are being calculated using the same rate.

In your case, your planned is coming fine where as actuals are calculated using default time card rate.

Can you check if there are any business rules getting fired or there is any TASK RATE CARD on the system.

The script which is specifyig to use the default rate card for planned, can you check while calculating the actual also, default rate card is being used.

Hi Sironi,

Before you can check all this, one thing is worth checking.

As you only have one rate card (default) in your system and you want the planned cost and actuals to be calculated using that rate card.

Why not associate that at the project level? Associate that rate card on Project preferences, submit a new timesheet and check the results.

This test will confirm that the some script is needed for actuals rate card association. (as you mentioned, you are using RMRateCard script include) for associating default rate card for resource plan calculation) . Similar script will be needed for actual calculation as well.
