Can I add a financial resource directly at the task level?

Yes. On the Manage Financial Project Plan page, if you enter raw cost amounts directly at the task level, a financial resource is added to the task with the specified planned amounts.

If you enter both the effort and raw cost amounts directly at the task level, then a labor resource is added to the task with the specified effort and rate override.

Some points to consider:

• You can view these resources in the Manage Resources dialog box. The periodic amounts are populated for these resources.

• Based on raw cost amounts you specified, the application calculates the burden cost and burdened cost amounts accordingly for these resources.
