Hi Experts,

I have encountered an inconsistency with the cost per hour calculation in the Costs tab.

  • A resource group has been set up with a general cost of 50.

  • The related Maint organization is having a cost rate.

  • A Work Task (WT) was created and connected to this resource group.

  • The task was then assigned to a user, time was reported, and the work was completed.

However, we noticed that the Costs tab displays a different hourly rate than the expected value of 50. The Resource and Planning tabs reflect the correct hourly cost of 50 for the resource.

Further testing was done by executing another WT using the same resource, but the Costs tab again showed a different cost per hour.
 

 

  • How is the per unit cost in the Costs tab being calculated?

  • What could cause this discrepancy?

  • What steps can be taken to ensure the actual cost per hour (50) is correctly reflected in the Costs tab?

  • Are there any configurations or adjustments needed in Time Types or other related settings?

I would appreciate your guidance on resolving this issue.

Thank you!

Hi ​@Aravinda.Pr,

The total cost related to the transaction is calculated as the number of reported hours multiplied by the hourly rate for the employee, resource, or maintenance organization. Here are the steps involved:

  1. Employee Cost: If there is an employee and the "Use Employee Labor Cost" is enabled for the company, the hourly rate for the employee is used.
  2. Resource Cost: If there is no cost from the employee and a resource ID is specified, the cost of the resource is used.
  3. Maintenance Organization Cost: If there is a maintenance organization but no cost from the employee or resource, the hourly rate for the maintenance organization is used

In this case, you can check whether you have the cost defined as the 1st method. If you remove that, I believe the system would take the resource cost.
