In our first example, I applied a cost rate increase for Sarah Baker, effective on October 1.

Click the OK button to close the Resource Information dialog.

Notice that Cost Rate Table A displays the Standard Rate, Overtime Rate, and Cost/Use values which I entered previously for Sarah Baker in the Resource Sheet view of the project.įigure 4: Cost Rate Table B rates for testing work Notice that the software includes five Cost Rate Tables, labeled A (Default), B, C, D, and E. In the middle of the dialog, notice that Microsoft Project displays the Cost Rate Tables for this resource. Figure 1 shows the Costs page of the Resource Information dialog for a resource named Sarah Baker. In the Resource Information dialog for the selected resource, click the Costs tab.

To enter custom cost information for the resource, double-click the name of the resource.

Setting Up Cost Rate Tablesīefore you enter information in the Cost Rate Tables for a resource, enter the basic cost rate information for the resource in the Standard Rate, Overtime Rate, and Cost/Use columns in the Resource Sheet view of your project. In this blog post article, I will show you how to set up the Cost Rate Tables for a resource and how to apply the correct Cost Rate Table rates after assigning the resource to tasks. To address the two scenarios described above, you will need to use the built-in resource Cost Rate Tables in Microsoft Project.
