• Message number: 167

• Message text: Resource quantities have been revaluated

What causes this issue?

You executed a plan revaluation for quantities/usages for which
resources are planned.
There is a direct relationship between usages and the cost incurred,
whereby the usages are multiplied by the resource prices.
Therefore, automatic revaluation may not be used.

System Response

Only the resource usages are revaluated.

How to fix this error?

If you require the system to valuate the cost from resource usages with
current resource prices, then start manual revaluation (Initial screen
in planning: Extras -> Resource planning -> Revaluate).
If you wish to retain the costs from resource usages, then do not start
manual revaluation.
