How to charge person costs to two o more different sub-projects

[Genugenu29]

I do have MS Project 2000 and I am wondering how I can separate cost for the
same resource on two different subproject using the same MS GANTT. If in the
same file I execute two activitivities, for the same resource, belonging to
two separate sub-project can I see the two cost separately ? If no, is there
a way to do it ?

Many thanks

Genugenu29,
It sounds like you have a master project with multiple subprojects
inserted. Your best approach is to use a different cost rate table for
each pay scale for a given resource. You can access the cost rate tables
by selecting the desired resource on the Resource Sheet and going to
Project/Resource Information/Cost tab.

Then in the second subproject where that resource is used, tell Project
to use Cost Rate Table "B". You can do this easily by displaying the
Task Usage view. Add the Cost Rate Table field as a column in the view.
Select those assignments, (rows with no ID), and select cost rate table
"B". All costs for that resource on that subproject will then be
calculated per the rate specified in cost rate table "B".

Hope this helps.
