Considerations for Resource Mapping

Consider these points when using the Update Mapping process:

• Baseline project plan values aren't affected by the Update Mapping process.

• The Update Mapping process applies only if your planning resource breakdown structure doesn't allow changes at the project level.

  Tip:

  If you allow resource changes at the project level, use the Update Actual Amounts action on the project plan to update the actual amounts for all tasks on the project plan. Use the process monitor to start the process to summarize project performance data for reporting.

• After running the Update Mapping process, regenerate forecast versions to reflect the new actual costs.
