Good day,

I have an issue with either my installation or my brain. I always used project this way and never had an issue before.

I have costs resources with a estimated cost allocated to a task. The task is baselined with the estimated cost. When I type in the actual cost (which is lower than the estimated amount) for the activity, the Remaining Cost drops to 0 and the estimated Cost “Cost” is changed to the actual cost I just entered.

The “Actual costs are always calculated by Project” setting is deselected. Doesn’t matter if I change the setting or Task Type, the problem remains.

What am I doing wrong?
