Need help on how the Planned Cost is calculated on Resource Plan

[shaik_irfan]

Hi,

I am little confused with the Planned Cost calculation on Resource Plan on Projects.

I created a Resource Plan as shown below which is for a specific user in the Group and the group has the hourly rate of $200

Based on my understanding it multiplies Planned Hours X Group hourly rate, if my understanding is correct Planned Cost should have been $8000 -> 40 X 200, but here the total planned cost is $16000

For doubt i created another Resource Plan where the get different result:

Hourly rate is same $200 for both the groups. Now you can see it is $4000 but it should have been the same $16000

Hi Chris,

What you said was right i was having Rate Model for that and thats why i got the different Costs.

I have another confustion on Expense Line generated via Approved Time Cards it is again giving a different calculation for the same user. If you have time can you please look into this thread.

Hi Chris,

I have rate model defined, rate lines are as per user location.

I have created a resource plan to the project (mapped the rate model also) and i have selected group A and user specifc user1 and user 2 frm the group. for the planned cost on the resource plan default rate is taken whereas for the allocated cost it took as per user location and showed correct cost. 

My confusion is even for the planned cost it should have taken from rate model right ?

Thanks
