Use this procedure to assign rates to resources. You can assign multiple rates to resources to reflect price changes over time. For example, suppose the price per unit for a group of resources was $20.00 per hour for the months January through June, but the price rate increases to $30.00 starting in July through December. You can assign time-varying rates for resources to more accurately determine total resource (and activity) costs.
To assign resource rates:
- Click Resources.
- On the Resources navigation bar, click Administration.
- On the Administration page, click the Resources tab.
- On the Resources tab:
- Click a resource.
- Click the Units and Prices detail window.
- In the Units and Prices detail window:
- Click Add.
- In the Effective Date field, double-click to open the calendar and choose a date and time to start the new rate.
- In the Max Units/Time field, double-click and type the maximum work units per time for this resource.
- In the appropriate price fields, double-click and type an amount. The default time period is price per hour unless you specify another time period.
- Click Save.
