Roll up fixed costs into summary tasks

[Dennis Vlasich]

When looking at summary tasks that show both Fixed Cost as well as 'Cost'
(labor) fields, only the Total Cost rolls up into the summary tasks. It's
very confusing to look at a summary task with a Fixed Cost column that does
not contain the sum of the fixed cost amounts but then adds it into the Total
Cost column. Who's bright idea was this?

Hi Dennis,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

The Microsoft Project Developers However, there may be some requirement
to enter a fixed cost in a summary to cover the summary's costs: eg
consultant's fee, cost of blueprints, purchase of equipment, etc. So there
is some sense in it
