Entering Costs on Resource Sheet for an Expense

[Alice Roman]

I was able to enter a cost for a hardware expense on the resource
sheet. But I'm now trying to enter a cost for a travel expense and
the field won't let me enter a value there, not even in the task
infomration cost sheet view - why not? See last line of screen copy
below:

"$12,000.00" Type: Cost Cost "$70,000.00"
Budget Travel Cost "$30,000.00" BgtTvl Travel
Budget Hardware Cost "$40,000.00" BgtHW HW
"$12,000.00" Expense Hardware Cost EH HW
$0.00 Expense Travel Cost ET Travel

Alice --

Are you using Budget Cost and Expense Cost resources? If so, you have to
assign the Budget Cost resources to the Project Summary Task, display the
Task Usage view, temporarily insert the Budget Cost column, and enter the
Budget Cost for the Budget Cost resource. For Expense Cost resources, you
have to assign them to tasks (summary tasks, regular tasks, or milestone
tasks) and then enter your anticipated expenditure in the Cost field for the
Expense Cost resource assignment. Hope this helps.
