Manage Project Updates and Exports
Project costs and revenue are based on the initial rates of the role that the team members are assigned to. When team members have planned time assigned to them, the role that was recently used for the resource will be matched with the defined global rate for the role.
Updating Plans and Logged Time

In the Scope tab, if no plans are assigned to team members who logged time, the Remaining Cost and Remaining Time columns show a dash. Users can have plans but no logged time.
