I assign Airplane ticket to the task and I told the MS project that it costs $1000. In the first example I will assign only cost resource to the task. John the Trainer is Work resource and his standard rate is $100 per hour.Īirplane ticket is Cost resource and it does not have the defined price yet. Now I will show you how to work with Cost Resourcesįirst I will define resources needed for my task. This is time depending Material resource. If have a Material resource which does depends of the Task duration you should put the number in the Unit field and how much do you spend per time (hour, day, week, etc.). So, if you have a Material resource which doesn’t depends of the Task duration you should put the number in the Unit field when you are assigning Material Resource to the Task. MS PROJECT 2010 has calculated that the cost for the Gasoline is now $8.000 (20 lites per hour X $5 per Unit X 10 days X 8 hour per day = 20 X $5 X 10 X 8 = $8.000), and the Total cost for this task is $508.000. For the Gasoline I put in the Unit field 20/h and that means that I will spend 20 liters (or gallons) per hour. Why? MS PROJECT 2010 has calculated that the cost for the Concrete is $500.000 (5.000 units X $100 / Unit = $500.000), and it does not depend of the Task duration, since I put in the Unit field 5.000. I will choose the Cost table again and I will get: What will happen if I change duration of the task Pouring the concrete from 5 to 10 days? Let’s see. MS PROJECT 2010 has calculated that the cost for the Gasoline is $4.000 (20 liters per hour X $5 per Unit X 5 days X 8 hour per day = 20 X $5 X 5 X 8 = $4.000). MS PROJECT 2010 has calculated that the cost for the Concrete is $500.000 (5.000 units X $100 per Unit = $500.000). I need 5.000 units (tons, liters or whatever) of Concrete and I need 20 liters (or gallons) of Gasoline per hour. Now, I will assign Gasoline and Concrete to the Task Pouring the concrete: I will choose the Cost table again, and I will get: Now I will change duration for task Painting the wall from 3 to 10 days:

Remember that this cost remains the same, no matter how long will take you to pain the wall. I put 1000 in the Unit field, because I assume that I will need 1000 liters of paint for painting the wall.

Now, I will assign Paint to the Painting the wall task, and Gasoline, and Concrete to the Pouring the concrete Task: In this post I will explain how to set up, and assign material resources in MS PROJECT 2010.įirst I will add three material resources in Resource Sheet:
