How to define cost types

Added by Rajesh R Nair almost 11 years ago

Hello Team,

1. Could you help me with some samples of how to define cost types (under Modules menu). The fields I see are below.

Name *
Unit Name *
Pluralized Unit Name *
Default
and then define the rates for the date.

What I tried values looks as follows, would like to know whether this is right approach. (That is, should it be for Human resource or not, because in budget screen I get this under Planned Unit Cost)
Name: Development
Unit Name*: Java Developer
Pluralized Unit Name: Java Developers
Default:
and then defined rates for the date.

2. I have a follow up question too, when we use Planned Unit Cost and Planned Labor cost in Project’s Budget screen

Here under Planned Unit Cost, I would get the Cost Type defined here. And all project members are coming under Planned Labor Cost. So what should be ideally coming under Planned Unit Cost, is it other material costs for the project.

Regards
Rajesh
