How does project track material consumption? Is it done manually or
automatically? For example. I created a material resource prorated called
gold. I allocated the resource to a task with 3 gramms/day with duration 5
days. When/how does project tell me that after 2 days into the 5 day
duration, I used 6 gramms of gold at a cost of $XX? When I update the project
plan and set the status date after the 2 days, I don’t see the 6 gramms
consummed. Does the PM need to update the resource in the plan manually or is
it done automatically at some point in time? Our goal is to be able to assign
a material resource to a task and when needed, a human resource that is also
assigned to the task will indicate how much of the material resource was
actually used within a given reporting period. Similar to Work and actual
work for human resources. Is this possible?
