Resource/Cost - Activities That Do Not Have an Expense or a Resource Assigned Section of the Schedule Check Report Dialog Box

Overview

Use this section to view activities that do not have an expense or resource assigned. Plans without resources or costs are not as meaningful particularly when you are tracking Earned Value.

Only a subset of the activities in the open projects are checked. WBS summary activities, milestones, and Level of Effort activities are removed from the subset to create the list of activities checked for no resources or expense assignments. The Actual percentage is calculated as the number of activities found that match the check divided by the total number of subset activities checked.

Note: There is no check for the number of units or the value of the expenses.
