Costs Columns of the Activity Table

Actual Expense Cost field

The actual cost for all project expenses associated with the activity.

Actual Labor Cost field

The actual costs for all labor resources assigned to the activity.

If no resources are assigned, calculated as the Actual Labor Units multiplied by Project Default Price divided by Time.

Actual Material Cost field

The actual cost for all material resources assigned to the activity.

Actual Nonlabor Cost field

The actual costs for all nonlabor resources assigned to the activity.

If no resources are assigned, calculated as the Activity Actual Nonlabor Units multiplied by Project Default Price divided by Time.

Actual This Period Labor Cost field

The labor costs incurred during this financial period.

If period performance is stored, the calculation is Actual Labor Cost minus the sum of the stored Actual This Period Labor Cost fields for all previous periods.

If the period performance is not stored, Actual This Period Labor Cost is the same as Actual Labor Cost.

Actual This Period Material Cost field

The material costs incurred during this financial period.

If period performance is stored, the calculation is Actual Material Cost minus the sum of the stored Actual This Period Material Cost fields for all previous periods.

If the period performance is not stored, Actual This Period Material Cost is the same as Actual Material Cost.

Actual This Period Nonlabor Cost field

The nonlabor costs incurred during this financial period.

If period performance is stored, the calculation is Actual Nonlabor Cost minus the sum of the stored Actual This Period Nonlabor Cost fields for all previous periods.

If the period performance is not stored, Actual This Period Nonlabor Cost is the same as Actual Nonlabor Cost.

Actual Total Cost field

Calculated as Actual Expense Cost plus Remaining Expense cost.

At Completion Labor Cost field

The sum of the actual and remaining costs for all labor resources assigned to the activity.

If the activity is not started, this equals the planned labor costs. If the activity is completed, this equals the actual labor costs.

Calculated as Actual Labor Cost plus Remaining Labor Cost.

At Completion Material Cost field

The material cost at completion. It is the sum of the actual and remaining costs for all material resources assigned to the activity.

It is the same as the planned material costs if the activity is not started, and the actual material costs once the activity is completed.

At Completion Nonlabor Cost field

The nonlabor cost at completion. The sum of the actual and remaining costs for all nonlabor resources assigned to the activity.

It is the same as the planned nonlabor costs if the activity is not started, and the actual nonlabor costs once the activity is completed.

Calculated as Actual Nonlabor Cost plus Remaining Nonlabor Cost.
