This is a bit of a combination of project pro and Project server.
I have budget resources primarily Work and cost (but some material - they are IT projects)
Goal get an overall dollar cost for the project to use as a basis for approval (and even portfolio analysis with a custom field)
- I enter the "Cost resources as appropriate and get my dollar costs.
- I enter my work resources as Hours and get total hours.
- I need both because planners think of human work resources in terms of hours needed
- This does not give me a "monthly" projected budget I can give to my finance folks because they don't know how to deal with hours
What would be ideal:
- is to create a custom filed that would allow me to take the total "Cost resources" in dollars, Then take the Work hours and multiply the total hours by some "blended rate $" to get a total cost for labor
- add them together
- pop them into a "project Budget" custom field.
Has anyone done this? If so I would like to know how.
