Default Costs are shifted when changing the timescale

Hello everybody,




with the conversion from MS Project 2010 to 2013 the following thing happens if I edit the timescale in the view "Task: usage":


If the Bottom Tier is on the unit weeks or days, the costs are allocated correctly.

When I switch the Bottom tier to the unit month, my costs and working hours move to the previous month.

That was not the case in MS Project 2010. Do you know how to get the costs and working time back to the right month?


Can someone please explain the background of this phenomenon and how I can remove it again.


Many Thanks and Regards

Mareike

Do you have SP-1 installed to Project 2013?

I have not personally seen this occur. However, a few ideas:

The August 2014 Cumulative Update (Hotfix) noted the following issue:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2883080

Assume that you use Save As to save a project file with a new name in Project 2013, and then you close the file. When you reopen the new file, the value of time-phased actual work has been changed unexpectedly.

You might try installing the CU to see if that fixes the issue.

Thanks for your help.

We had a Software update also with MS Project parts and now it works.
Seems to be a known and now cleared problem.
