Hi all,
I have a query regarding Cost Resources.
We have added a type of resource in our application called 'Miscellaneous' that must be mapped to a Cost Resource in Microsoft Project.
As of now, let's assume that for every Misc. Resource, I create a counterpart in MSP's Enterprise Resource Pool. First question: Can I set the default assignment owner (as myself) for such a Cost Resource during creation in the Enterprise Pool?
Now let's assume I can do that. Then I proceed to import that cost resource into the Project Team (which includes myself) and create an assignment to the respective tasks which include it.
We have a requirement that we should be able to record Actual Cost incurred over that Cost Resource Assignment during the execution of the project. The problem is, I'm unable to locate that assignment in the ChangeXML sample program.
Can the Status Update mechanism be used to update Actual Costs incurred over Cost Resource Assignments? If not, what is the solution to my requirement? ie: How does one record Actual Cost incurred over a Cost Resource through the PSI?
Regards,
Subramanian
