  • 1.  Allocation Cost attribute on Team tab

    Posted Oct 10, 2018 03:02 PM

    I have added a resource to the system with a rate of $75.  They are allocated to a project at 100%.  When i multiply the Allocation (in hours) by $75.00, I get the Hard Allocation Cost.  - Which is correct.

     

    The problem that I am trying to figure out is where is the $26.64 coming from in the the Allocation Cost attribute.  I have no rate in the rate matrix with that value. 

     

    Clarity version 15.4.1

     

     

    Thanks!

    In my experience, if the allocation attribute does not mention 'Hard' it usually refers to Planned Allocation - sometimes referred to as Soft Allocation.

     

    Do a comparison between Planned Allocation and Hard Allocation.

    The resource is hard booked for 100%.  Planned and Hard Allocation are setup as the same for this resource to this record.

    Hi Michael,

     

    Could you please check the aggregation setup for this page? I think that cost is getting generated after summing up some other attribute and then displayed in a separate column.

    The aggregation is unimportant as it is merely summing up the 3 resources that are on this project.  The issue is where is the $26.64 coming from.IE: what should be in the Allocation Cost for that specific resource.

    I have found out this has to do with a defect that is resolved in 15.5.1.

     

    Allocation Cost dividing by 3600
