SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario in Microsoft Office Project 2007:
 * You change the Work is entered in setting on the Schedule tab under Options.
 * You assign a cost resource to the new task.
 * You add a cost to the cost resource in the Task Usage view.

In this scenario, an incorrect cost value is displayed for cost resources when you enter a timephased cost for a day.

This problem may also occur when the Work is entered in option is set correctly. For example, this problem may occur if you enter a timephased cost that occurs on a specific level, such as Weeks or Months.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the Work is entered in setting is not set to Hours.

In this case, the cost value that is entered is divided by the &quot;hours-per-day&quot; setting. This problem also occurs when you change the Work is entered in setting to Weeks or to Months.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the Work is entered in setting to Hours.

Note To locate this setting, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the Schedule tab.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
