| Problem: | Why is Budgeted Cost not linking to Units after importing a project from P3? |
| Problem: | How to create a Global Change to checkmark Cost Units Linked for all Resource Assignments. |
| Cause: | By default, Resources that had Costs linked to Units in P3 are imported to Project Management with this setting checked in the Resource dictionary:
However, on the Resource Assignment level, this setting is not checked:
|
| Fix: | There are two options to have Costs linked to Units on existing Resource Assignments: Option #1: Checkmark “Cost Units Linked” on the activity’s Resources tab. A prompt will appear, asking to confirm this selection. Click “Yes.” Option #2: Note: The following Global Change will add the cost units link for ALL resource assignments. Note: It is strongly recommended that you have a current export of the project(s) in xer file format before running any Global Changes. If all assignments need to have the Costs linked to Units, it may be easier to run a Global Change to accomplish this. Create the Global Change as follows: 1) Select a Subject Area of “Activity Resource Assignments” 2) Create a statement, “Then Cost Units Linked = Yes” 3) Click on Change 4) Review the Report to make sure that these are the expected results and then click on “Commit Changes”
