Tracking $$ per month

[guy forget]

Using Ms-Project to list projects assigned to each project manager.
Ex: Under Bob’s name (summary task) are is 4 projects.
For each project I would like to track 3 different estimated costs like : for Material, labour and other cost
Ex: First projet: under 1 year for a total of 3M $ (other cost)
I would like to manually spread the 3M$ per month for project duration: 1,2M$ first month, 200K$ second month etc…
I would like to do the same Material and labour costs
Doing the same for 3 other Bob’s projects
Then I would like have in this case a total per month for each material, labour and overall cost, always for Bob’s projects

Guy;
Take a look at the resource types in the resource sheet view. You can define different types of resources such as labor and materials.
For material resources you can define additional information like cost per use.
Once all the required resources (labor, material, etc.) are created they can be attached to project schedule tasks. How you organize the tasks will then control where the costs appear each month.
There are also separate fields that track project labor versus material costs for example. Add these additional fields to your views/reports and you should be all set.

Hope that helps
