Issue/Introduction

The non labor ETC/Actual hours show up as expected on the Assignment list section on the Task Properties page. However, on the Task list page, they show up as 0. How does the ETC/Actuals get updated on the Task list page?

The same behavior can been see in Classic and MUX.  You can see the non-labor ETC/Actuals on the Assignments Module grid or the Assignments tab in the Task details fly-out but not on the Task grid.

Resolution

• The ETC/Actuals amounts displayed on both the Gantt and Task list (grid in MUX) are aggregate values
• Labor resources are hourly resources so their ETC (and Actuals) are measured in hours
• While the non-labor resources are considered cost resources, the ETC (and Actuals) for these type of resources are typically measured in costs or units
• The way that the aggregation is done on the Task/Gantt/MUX Task grid, only the hourly ETC (and Actuals) are taken into account. The non-labor resources are ignored as their ETC (and Actuals) are not measured in hours.
