Project Server 2003, Timesheets and Expenses

Hi all,

Anyone got any idea how to enable our users to enter expenses on the
Project Web Access timesheet? We're evaluating it for use, and
unfortunately this is probably going to be a showstopper if it can't be
done. I've tried using fixed costs, but that doesn't help because I
can't figure out a way of letting the user specify the fixed cost; it
also wouldn't let them put in itemised costs (I realise that could be
done via inserting notes, but that would limit the reportability).

Any bright, sparky ideas?

Project Server's timesheet system is rather minimalist. There are a number
of good, reasonably priced time control systems that integrate with Project
Server hand in glove.

Lee,

In PWA under Admin => Manage Views => Timesheet you can add Fixed Cost
to the timesheet view. I would think that you should be able to add
this to the list of fields that you publish in Pro (Tools => Customize
=> Published Fields) sleect Fixed Cost (Task) and check the box to Let
Resource Change Field. You will need to republish all of your current
projects to have this field available in each case.

I hope this helps...
