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
