Managing Assignment Cost

Managing Assignment Cost

The ResourceAssignment class exposes several properties used to manage assignment cost:

• Cost represents an assignment’s total project cost (decimal).
• BCWP represents the budgeted cost of work to date on an assignment (double).
• BCWS represents the budgeted cost of work scheduled for an assignment (double).
• ACWP represents the actual cost of the work carried out on an assignment to date (double).

To view assignment costs in Microsoft Project:

1. On the Task Usage page, select the Insert menu and then Column.
2. Add columns.

Getting Assignment Costs with Aspose.Tasks

The following example shows getting task costs using Aspose.Tasks.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-tasks/Aspose.Tasks-for-Java
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir(AssignmentCost.class);

Project project = new Project(dataDir + "EarnedValues2010.mpp");

for (int i = 0; i < project.getResourceAssignments().getCount(); i++) {
    ResourceAssignment ra = project.getResourceAssignments().getByUid(0);
    System.out.println(ra.get(Asn.COST));
    System.out.println(ra.get(Asn.ACWP));
    System.out.println(ra.get(Asn.BCWP));
    System.out.println(ra.get(Asn.BCWS));
}
