Can anyone tell me how the Costs are calculated on a Work Task? It is zero for some Work Tasks in my IFS when it should not be (see attached). It is only occurring on Cost Type “Personnel” The employees it is happening with have the required privileges. I have tried to debug it but I can’t see where the calculation is made. I am on Apps10.

Hi,
Below is how total cost is calculated.
Help documentation:
The total cost related to the transaction. This is calculated as the number of reported hours multiplied with the hourly rate for employee, resource or maintenance organization:
- If there is an employee and Use Employee Labor Cost is enabled for the company, the hourly rate for employee is used.
- If there is no cost from employee and there is a resource ID specified, the cost of the resource is used.
- If there is a maintenance organization but no cost from employee or resource, the hourly rate for the maintenance organization is used.
For example, if we report for a resource group:
If we just report for the maintenance organization:
Please check whether this helps.
Best Regards,

Thank you Thilini, I noticed the Cost Column in Resource Detail is zero for some of the entries. The Person whose costs are coming up zero have that Resource as their parent resource. That may be the cause of the problem, I am not sure yet.
