Select the Level at Which to Capture Actual Costs

Use the Files tab of the Project Properties dialog box to change the level at which actual costs are captured.

You can only make this change if the project log is not yet turned on. Turning the project log off after it has been turned on will not enable you to make this change.

The default level initially displayed in the Files tab is the same level that you specified when you created the project using the New Project Wizard.

To select the level at which to capture actual costs:
  1. Display the Project Properties dialog box and select the Files tab.
  2. Select an option in the Level at which to capture actual costs field.
    • Control Account: Select this option to enable actuals to be loaded at the control account level and disable the loading of actuals at the work package level of the project.  
    • Work Package: Select this option to enable actuals to be loaded at the work package level and disable the loading of actuals at the control account level of the project.
    • Both Control Account & Work Package: Select this option to enable actuals to be loaded at both the control account and work package levels of the project.
