Resource Plan Confirmed/Allocated cost

[Farfara]

Hello, 

I defined a resource role with a hourly but the filed Confirmed/Allocated cost calculation is based on the default rate.

Can someone explain why and where can I find the script calculating this field.

Suggestion and advice are welcome. Please feel free to reach out if anyone had come across similar requests.

Regards,

FF

Hi @Farfara 

There you go, you can find the default rate in this function below.

new RateModelUtils().getDefaultRate();

getDefaultRate: function(){
	return gs.getProperty(this.CONSTANT.DEF_RATE_PROPERTY,'50');
},

Generally, The Confirmed/Allocated cost (hours) in Resource Allocation is rolled up from Resource Allocation Daily. There's a field named "Allocated hourly rate" to store the rate value. This field gets populated when the Resource Allocation Daily record is generated.

Follow the business rule below, you will find the getDefaultRate function mentioned.

Name: Create allocation daily entries

Hi @Farfara ,

Confirmed/Allocated cost in project currency = Confirmed Allocated Cost * Project currency exchange rate

There are three COSTS associated with a Resource Plan :

• Planned cost. Amount in Planned hours multiplied by the hourly rate. This is a first draft estimate of the Resource Plan cost.
• Confirmed/Allocated cost. Amount of confirmed or allocated hours multiplied by the hourly rate of the confirmed or allocated resources. Provides a more accurate estimation.
• Actual cost. Based on the Time Cards used for the Actual hours, calculated using the hourly rate of each user and the hours worked.

Thanks @Community Alums for the reply but when I defined a hourly rate in a resource role, It does not take it, It takes the default rate 50.

Hi @Farfara 

The Confirmed / Allocated cost in Resource Plan should be rolled up from the Resource Allocation related list.

Business Rule: Roll Up Allocated Cost to Resource Plan

Thanks @Tai Vu but How can I ensure that it takes on the value ( hourly rate )denotes on the resource role not the default rate 50?
