Differing Costs

I want a central resource pool of consultants, however, although they will work across multiple project at any one time their charge rate may differ. How can I show this without having to go through Tast Usage and manually changing each line with the resource info?

RE: Differing Costs

Dear Emma,

The Resource Information dialogue box has 5 sub-tabs within the Costs Tab. You can set the different tabs to reflect different costs for the same resource.

If the resource is working for client 1 their charge rate might be as per cost rate tab A whereas if they work for client 2 the rate may be as per cost rate tab B - the resource is the same and will now have work in 2 different projects but their time will be charged at different rates.

Check the attached document for more detail on how to model this in MS Project.

Happy planning

Dominic

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
