ID: q178678

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Project 98 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project 98, in the Resource Usage view, you may see that a resource time-phased Schedule Variance (SV) does not equal the total SV values for the resource.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the following conditions are true:

The resource was assigned to more than one task.

A cost is assigned to the resource.

At least one task that the resource was assigned to was deleted.

Resource time-phased SV values are using the rolled up assignments Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS) values instead of the resources BCWS values.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service Release 1 (SR-1).

For additional information about obtaining and installing SR-1, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
