Cost resources cost not showing up in any Timephased based Cubes

[Michael M]

Hi All,

I've noticed that any cost resources cost are not show in any Timephased
based cubes(accessing via data annlysis). Example, if I access "Assignment
Non Timephased" and select Resource + Project List + Actual cost, I can see a
total for a Cost resource broken down by Resource then Project. If I do the
same for Assignment Timephased cube and select the same fields, the total do
not match. When I specifically look at the Cost resource I can see there is a
ZERO actual cost.
The reason I require it to be shown in the Timephased cube is to determine
when the cost was incured by using Fiscal Time field.

Any reason why the cost resource cost are not showing up for Timephased
based cubes?

Thanks
Michael

Check which version of MS Project and Project Server you're running. Can't
say that this specific issue has been on my radar, but there were a lot of
issues with timephased data for cost resources pre-SP2, and especially pre-August
'08 IU.

I am not sure that SP2 fixed them either, but I know it did help a bit with
other Cost Resource issues, and haven't tested cost resources against SP2
yet.
