Hi Dale,
I read the updated posting regarding the documentation conflict with the way the application is working. it looks as if the DocOps Wiki page has been updated.
In my experience of working with the product it has never used the 'Standard Cost' field at all in populating cost plans 'planned' amounts ; it always used the 'actual cost' rate
The Standard Cost amount is retrieved and stored on the WIP tables, but when you view the data in the application it is always using the 'actual cost' for actual transactions, for planned amounts, and for earned value amounts.
I agree that if we have this data in the application , we could have more use for it. I searched to see if there is an existing idea logged for improving the functionality so the Product Manager can review and comment. I do not see an idea logged yet.
The Product Manager is the one to review and evaluate the features of the application. Please log a new idea and let's get the ball rolling!
