planned material costs not seen in reports

[Former Member]

hi to all,

i planned costs for a project using networks and activity elements and material components. for the activity elements i placed the costs as a direct input and for material components, i input the required quantity and the material number. However, when i looked at the structure overview(CN41), the materials i placed have 0 cost. YET THE TOTATL AMOUNT in the network&activity INCLUDES the cost of the material (quantity multiplied by material price).

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Check in OPSV, whether both check boxes are ticked for order type 20 ie network.

Hi,

CN41 being a structural report will only show aggregated values at activity level. Component values will not be available in this. This is standard system behaviour and not a bug.

You can execute CN52 wherein you can get compenent level prices

hi again..

i checked both your suggestions but they have already been carried out earlier so the problem lies elswhere..(but at least i was able to eliminate some of the possible causes..).

allow me to give an example of whats happening in my case..

MY INPUTS:

WBS 1

NETWORK 1

ACTIVITY 1

Material Component 1 3 pcs ( 1 $/pc)

Material Component 2 10 pcs (1 $/pc)

Element 1(cost) 500 $

Element 2(cost) 300 $

OUTPUT REPORT:(CN41 - Project cost Sch 000)

WBS 1 $ 813.0000

NETWORK 1 $ 813.0000

ACTIVITY 1 $ 813.0000

Material Component 1 0.0000

Material Component 2 0.0000

Element 1(cost) 500.0000

Element 2(cost) 300.0000

So if you notice in the report the material is 0 but the total includes the material cost..

thanks!
