Recalculating Assignment Costs
Recalculate assignment costs to update price per time values on activities. This ensures that project costs reflect any updates.
To recalculate assignment costs:
- On the
Navigation Menu, expand 
Projects and click Activities. - On the Activities page:
- Select an activity.
- Click Actions
and select Recalculate Assignment Costs. - In the Recalculate Assignment Costs dialog box:
- (Optional) Select the Synchronize overtime factor while recalculating costs option to synchronize the overtime factor defined for each resource when recalculating costs.
- Click Recalculate.
Tip
- When activity dates change, run Recalculate Assignment Costs to update resource costs based on the new dates.
- These services are removed from the database based on the ASAP Cleanup Rate your P6 administrator specifies on the Configurations tab in Primavera P6 Administrator. Once the time is met all ASAP jobs that have a status other than running or delegated will be removed from the table automatically. Running and delegated jobs will be removed if they are older than the cleanup rate or if they are older than one day, whichever is greater.
