Display task cost information

Procedure

1. To display cost information for an individual task and, optionally, change the billing codes, select the task in the task tree, and choose Schedule → Costs.

   Note: You can also set values for fixed costs for the task.

   Schedule Manager displays the Costs dialog box for the selected task.

Example

For a task-A with:

Parameter	Value
Resource hourly rate (User A)	$100.00
Total duration of task	16 hours
Time accrued	8 hours

The default Rate Modifier is always None, but Bill Code, Bill Sub-code, and Bill Type use the defaults when the task is created. If the top level has General, Accounting, and Standard values, tasks (when created) default to General, Accounting, and Standard.

You can change these values using the Costs dialog box. The values for Rate Modifier are those created using the Manage Rate Modifiers dialog box.

Note: The value for Rate Modifier is applied to all resources assigned to the task. For example, if the rate modifier is a multiplier with a value of 1, all resources assigned to the task use a rate modifier of 1. Different tasks can use different rate modifiers.

2. Click Finish.
