Setting Up Resource Rates
For each resource, you should enter a base unit cost. If the resource is a Labor resource, the units are typically hours and the unit cost will be the present value of the direct labor rate.
If the resource is a Material or Other Direct Cost, unit cost is typically 1 and the units are dollars. However, if you have very large dollar values, you can enter units of 1000 and enter the resource level in thousands of dollars. Depending on your needs, Subcontract resources may be treated as either labor or material. As an option, you can also define a set of escalations for the cost.
Attention: For more information about setting up resource files and defining resources, see the
Resource Details Dialog Box.
