Where to learn about cost centres, setup & reporting

J

James Hart

I am helping to implement Project Server 2003. I'm going pretty well with
the general setup and access etc, but one big gap in my knowledge is how to
setup cost tracking.

Our company use cost centres to bill time against. So each resource belongs
to a cost centre, and this is used to bill time across the organisation.
When a resource from 'cost centre x' works on 'project 123', a cost transfer
is done to bill the project for that effort.

Each month we need to provide a report that says the following:
- How much money needs to be billed from each cost centre to each project
- What projects a resource has billed time to individually

Can anyone suggest a good place to learn how to easily set this up? A book,
website, discussion forum etc? Our method is common, so many others must
have already done this?

Thanks.

James:

You'll essentially need to add a cost center attribute to your resources
using an Enterprise Resource outline code. Once you've done this, you can
build this type of report in the Portfolio anlalyzer very quickly to see
actual and planned hours by cost center. For further learning consider our
books on Project Server.
