Resource Group Cost Changes

For actual labor costs, that gets charged at the employee labor rate (not pay rate) from Employee setup. Resource and resource group rates only affect estimates and have no bearing on actuals.

For burden actuals, that gets charged at the employee labor rate * the resource (group) burden rate from the operation established in the job at the time it was created. Again, you would have to manually update the job if you want to apply any changed burden rates.

Bottom line, changing resource rates has no effect on current applied job costs (unless you want it to and update the job).

Do Resource Group cost changes affect current running WIP?

No, updating the resource (group) costs doesn't change the job costs if they are already created. You would need to update the costs in the job manually to affect the current jobs.

Guess, I wasn't clear. I meant for future labor on currently opened
jobs.



Ex. Job1 is opened with some labor applied (I understand this is done)

Resource Group modified

New labor applied (does this labor get charged at the new rates?)

No, updating the resource (group) costs doesn't change the job costs if
they are already created. You would need to update the costs in the job
manually to affect the current jobs.

I BELIEVE the preferred way to do it is through costing WB
(where WIP jobs are also updated).
Perhaps someone out there with more practical experience than I in this area can clarify.
