Hello,
Has anyone found a good way to calculate Earned Value using Cost Resources
in MS Project 2007? We have subcontractors doing some tasks, and would like
to include the cost from the subcontractors in our earned value calcuations.
Here is our delima:
-- When we enter the subcontractors as cost resources, the costs aren't
included in the Earned Value calculations. (BCWP or ACWP).
-- If we enter the subcontractors as material resources, the costs are
included in the earned value calculations, but it screws up the schedule.
--- If we set up a calculated field to take % Complete times the Actual
costs to try and approximate the earned value fields (while keeping the
subcontractors as Cost Resources), it kind of works, but it's not timephased
and you can't set the status date, so that makes it kind of a non-starter.
Has anyone found a good way to do this?
Many thanks for any ideas.
