Hello Jeroen,
I'm sorry, to the best of my knowledge, you cannot get that detailed
with cost in Project. Overtime work (and cost) are not set on a daily
or hourly schedule. If you assign overtime to resources, Project will
schedule the overtime work to occur in hours based upon the resource's
working schedule. It will spread the overtime work hours you specify
evenly over the duration of the task.
For example: 5 day duration task beginning on Monday (08:00) and
scheduled to finish on Friday at 17:00.
One resource assigned at 100% = 40 hours of work, each scheduled for 8
hours per day.
If the resource's standard rate is $10 per hour, cost = $400. In an
attempt to get the task to finish earlier, I assign 5 hours of
overtime.
The task now ends on Friday at 11:00. The total work is still 40
hours -- 35 regular and 5 OT. The cost has increased to $425.
Looking at the Task Usage view, Project has scheduled 9.15 hours per
day for Monday through Thursday -- 8 hours regular and 1.15 hour OT.
The resource is still scheduled to work 08:00 to 17:00 but is able to
produce 1.15 hours of work for each 1 hour timespan. On Friday, the
resource is scheduled for work from 08:00 to 11:00 but is scheduled to
produce 1.15 hours for each 1 hour in that span.
Once you assign overtime, you can add the OT work field to the Task
Usage view and manually change when the work occurs, but project will
use the OT rate for all OT work.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
