Hi,
Have been thinking about the use of Project to also give a cost
estimate/quote. Each resource can have both a standard cost rate and an
overtime cost rate applied to it. What I have not been able to find is where
to define the standard time period for a resource and hence when does the
overtime rate 'kick in'. The project could be using typically a 12 hour day
or 24 hour shifts, and applying the appropriate calendar to the reosurce
allows the activities to be scheduled to the calendar, but that does not tell
Project when the overtime rate would apply. So a twelve hour work day would
consist of 8 hours of standard time, say 2 hours of time and half, and two
hours of double time. But there seems to be no way of identifying this in
Project.
I also feel that project is not necessarily a good tool to do cost
estimates, but the functionality seems to be ther in part at least.
What am I missing please?
