I have a query regarding Cost Resources.
We have added a type of resource in our application called 'Miscellaneous'
that must be mapped to a Cost Resource in Microsoft Project.
As of now, let's assume that for every Misc. Resource, I create a
counterpart in MSP's Enterprise Resource Pool. First question: Can I set the
default assignment owner (as myself) for such a Cost Resource during creation
in the Enterprise Pool?
Now let's assume I can do that. Then I proceed to import that cost resource
into the Project Team (which includes myself) and create an assignment to the
respective tasks which include it.
We have a requirement that we should be able to record Actual Cost incurred
over that Cost Resource Assignment during the execution of the project. The
problem is, I'm unable to locate that assignment in the ChangeXML sample
program.
Can the Status Update mechanism be used to update Actual Costs incurred over
Cost Resource Assignments? If not, what is the solution to my requirement?
ie: How does one record Actual Cost incurred over a Cost Resource through the
PSI?
