Capturing Captial Costs

[Scott Tanaka]

Hello Project users,
I am working on a solution for corporate reporting using ProjectServer 2003.
The requirement is to publish a report representing project costs in various
buckets for budgeting/estimating/booking actuals. Generically our buckets
would be something like:
Capital
Employee Labor
Incremental Labor

I have some ideas on using the analytical tools in project - e.g. enterprise
fields/outline codes for cost, but I wanted to check with the experts on some
other methods.

Thanks!
Scott

Hi,

re-using data by entering extra fields in outline codes or text fields etc
is the best way to go. In Project Server you can then extend the cube to
slice and dice any way you want.

Thanks Rod - I did find a post in August about Capital costs from Steve House
which leads me to think that putting capital costs in our projects may be the
wrong financial approach - I'll follow up with our CFO. In the meantime -
thank you for your post!
