You can display the total actual cost data for resource task assignments in views. You must first add the Actual Cost field to your view layout. In the view definition, this field is available in the Assignment To Tasks and All subfolders of the Resource Information folder. You can format the Actual Cost field to display a single value or multiple time-scaled values.
The actual cost of a task assignment is used to determine the Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP) for a task, and is used to baseline costs for tasks and task assignments.
If you are using Open Workbench with CA Clarity PPM, the actual cost of a task assignment in Open Workbench is the total actual cost of the task assignment from CA Clarity PPM. This value is based on the actual work units posted against a resource assignment using timesheets, financial transactions, external schedulers, or XOG.
When building what-if scenarios using Actual Usage, the Actual Cost is calculated using the resource rate instead of actual work units. The following formula is used:
Actual Cost = Actual Usage * resource rate
