ACWP and Actual Cost....

M

Matt DiStefano

I've encountered an interesting problem, and I'm hoping
someone on this forum might help me, because I'm at a
loss. I have unchecked the box that makes MS Project
calculate actual costs--that way I can enter them
manually. Even afterwards, however, there are some
columns in my Actual Cost column which don't equal my ACWP
data. I don't have any resource costs--I was thinking it
had something to do with constraints or
predecessors/successors--but this doesn't seem to be the
case. Only when I change the constraints to ASAP does the
plan equal out--or if I status it for sometime in the
future. I thought if I applied a 'Must Start On'
constraint for the actual start date it might work, but it
doesn't. The way this project plan is laid out, ACWP and
Actual Cost should be identical--and they're not. Please,
any help would be extremely beneficial. Thanks in advance.

What is the status date you are using? Is there any actual work later than
the status date you are using? That would explain some differences.
