we can. just the logic will burst

you can’t and you shouldn’t. that’s why i wrote this article.

abubakar, 1) something has changed when you copied your activites. perhaps the calendar is different and there is more working days, or the resource’s budgeted units per time changed, or the activities durations changed. so something is affecting the cost. i would verify dates, durations, calendars, resource settings between the original and the copied activities.
2) you can always ask us general questions on our facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/planacademy. alternatively, there are many linkedin groups that are a great resource. read this post: 15 linkedin groups every project controller should join

did you try this? there are a few solutions, but try this first:
1) make a copy of the original project. in this copy, we’re going to decouple the costs from the resource’s hourly rate.
2) on the resource tab of each activity, add the column “calculate costs from units”. uncheck this option. verify that the costs don’t change after you uncheck it.
3) do this for every activity. you may have to do a global change.
4) export this project to xer and verify the costs haven’t changed after import.

priyansu – i can help. but do me a favour and post your questions on a relevant article – this question has nothing to do with the article above which is about forcing activities to the critical path.
the costs may end up different as associated 世界杯时间比赛时间 and their hourly rates are not being updated in the destination database during the import. there are a few solutions, but try this first:
1) make a copy of the original project. in this copy, we’re going to decouple the costs from the resource’s hourly rate.
2) on the resource tab of each activity, add the column “calculate costs from units”. uncheck this option. verify that the costs don’t change after you uncheck it.
