I have a task with 4 day duration. Added a cost resource with no cost initially set.
Then, I choose 'show split' and cost then typed the following values for the assignment and pressed enter
Cost 400, Actual Cost 100.
I was expecting remaining cost to be calculated to 300, instead the cost got changed to 100. (It is working fine if I press enter immediately after entering cost and before entering the actual cost).
It is working as expected in MS Project 2007.
Again, I tried entering the below values for the same assignment.
Cost 400, Actual 50.
Now it has calculated the remaining cost: 350 and kept the cost same:400.
Actually, we are hitting this issue in a VSTO addin for MS Project 2010/2013, where it imports task and assignments data from external application. Same code is working fine in MS Project 2007.
project.Resources.Add()
.............................................
asmt.Cost = cost;
asmt.ActualCost = actCost;
Is this a bug in MS Project or am I missing anything?
Thanks,
Narmada
