how do I assign a cross project cost that is still determined by a rate?
ie. Fuel or accomodation that has a daily or monthly rate but is applicable to entire project at summary level rather than the tasks which may overlap and double charge if i assign the cost there.
Help!!
Haseeb – Add the resource, say “Fuel”, as material resource in Resource Sheet view. Record the unit price in Std. Rate column, say $1.00. Now double click the summary task (not to Project summary), and in Resources tab of Task Information dialog, assign the Fuel resource with Units as 1/d ; 1 unit of Fuel is consumed every day. In Gantt Chart, insert Cost column to see the total cost of Fuel from begin till end of summary task,
