project server financial data storage capability

We have a need to not only track summary software, hardware, services,
and other categories of costs to projects, but also be able to track
WHAT we purchased within each of those categories. That is, we have an
Access database that stores individual PO/invoices for each
software/hardware purchase. We would like to create some sort of
interface that pulls that information by project and dumps it into the
PM repository. We have the programming talent to do that. My question
is whether or not MS project is capable of tracking financial data at
the level of granularity. My guess is that you would have to create a
custom table that houses the detailed transactions that are "children"
to the project table.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I would just store PO numbers against relevant tasks in Project then do the
financial stuff in Access. Access can read what dates etc you need directly
from .mpp files (2000+) using OLEDB.
