Monitoring Costs for Clinical Projects

The Cost view provides you with a valuable summary of all costs associated with a particular project and protocol.

The cost items appear in the following lists:

• Project Activities. Displays those records from the Activities view where the Cost field is selected.

• Project Tasks. Displays those records from the Tasks view where the Cost field for the task is selected. The actual cost and budgeted cost for a task are determined by summing the costs of the activities contained in the task.

• Clinical Payments. Displays payments made to the sites associated with the protocol. These payment amounts are rolled up into the Actual Cost field in the project record.

End users cannot create, modify, or delete records in the Costs view.

Note: All costs in this view are in the default currency set for the project.

This task is a step in "Process of Managing Clinical Projects".
