Hello everyone. We are looking to move our company off MS Project and are excited by OpenProject. Our primary use case with MS Project was "Project Costing" -- we created Work Packages with individual tasks within them and associated resources with these tasks. This allowed us to produce a "to the penny" budget for the entire project, including a report showing a monthly summary of cost. The resources are either professional services (specified as X resource type for Y hours at $Z/hour) or commodities with a fixed cost (for example, Training course $XX)
We've looked at Budgets and see that we can create budgets and associate these with Tasks. But I can't see a way to get a "total project budget" output. Is anyone familiar with our use case (or something similar) who can advise on how to best handle it?
Thanks
Michael.
