Updating automatically Cost plan when Resource plan is updated

Hello,

Is there a way to automatically update the cost plan associated to a resource plan, when the latter is updated ?

OOB if you update the resource plan the associated cost plan is not updated, you have to manually update the cost plan by using the UI action "Update Cost plan" on the resource plan.

Hamza.

Hamza, 

When resource plan is updated, associated cost plan should also get updated, but it will be updated through even queue(Asynchronously). Please check if there are any events with name "UpdateCostPlanAssociatedToResourcePlan" stuck in the queue.

We have not automated updating the resource plans when there is a rate update in the rate model because not every project manager be happy to see their project's cost change without their knowledge. 

If you have a requirement to automatically change the cost, you can write a BR and invoke the event "resource_cost_recalculate" with appropriate parameters.

I have the same doubt but to automatically updates the resource plans and cost plans every time you update the rate model.  In my country we have inflation and the rates are always changing.

Thanks in advanced.

Hello,

 

Thanks dileepsingireddy, as you said after updating a resource plan and controlling some minutes later the cost plan was correctly updated.
