Hi all,
Longtime lurker, first time poster. I have a little bit of a quandry on my hands and I'm relatively new to Microsoft Project, though not to scheduling itself...
I've taken over a project. We have tasks, with baseline dates. We have resources against the tasks. For Subcontractors, we have resources with a cost of 1$/hr so you put the subcontract amount in the Units field when assigning the resource, and it comes out to the subcontract amount on costs. It spreads this as well.
On the task usage view, I'm trying to compare current costs (based on our current dates) to our baseline costs (based on our baseline dates).
I'm running into a few resource allocations that don't seem to match their baseline dates IE: baseline start finish equal to 1/1/11 - 4/30/11, and the cost is spread 4/1/11 - 7/31/11 and the current dates are 5/31/11 - 7/31/11.
Any idea why the baseline cost spread wouldn't be hitting on the baseline dates? How could this be happening?
My thought is that someone typed in the "baseline" spread I'm currently seeing from 4/1/11 - 7/31/11. How else could the original baseline spread be changed when the baseline dates match what they should be?
Any ideas would be helpful. I'm running 2007 Professional version.
