Resource Pool problem

[Milind]

Hello
A resource charges 200/hr in one project, but later charges 300/hr in
another. If I change the rate, the new one gets reflected in both the
projects which is wrong, he has signed the contract at the old rates for old
project. How do I use him from the resource pool?

Hi Milind,

You have some choices on the Resource Information dialog box about how to
control resource costs. (Double click on the resource name in the Resource
Sheet to show the Resource Information dialog box.)

If the rate change is based on time (resource's rates increase as of a
specific date) you can set a new Effective Date on the cost rate table
A(default) on the Cost tab of the Resource Information dialog box.

If the rate change is not time based (for example the resource charges $200
for one kind of work but $300 for another) you can use the different cost
rate tables (marked B, C, D). Once you have set the different cost rate
table, go to the Resource usage view, double click on the assignment (task
name indented underneath resource name) and in the Assignment information
pick the correct rate table.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie
