Prime Costs / Selling Price MS Project 2007

Remi,

this is doable with a formula:

go to Tools, Customize, Fields

select a Cost field

write the following formula: Cost1 = Cost * (markup)

add the Cost1 field to the appropriate views, such as the Cost Table

Hi Alexandre,

Thank you for four answer, that's the way I thought I would do it too. However, I've got a couple of issues now with the total cost of the project and the costs shown on the summary lines:

The total prime cost of the project can be calculated automatically by Project but is there a way to calculate the total cost after mark-up?

Also, as shown in the example below if I want to apply a different mark up coefficient to some activities, project won't calculate the total cost after mark up, I have to calculate the coefficient for the summary lines manually.

Another question, is it possible to apply a different mark-up coefficient on the labour costs, on the material costs and on the subcontract costs? I can't see how to do that...

Many Thanks,

Regards,

Remi

Remi,

1. to have MSP compute the mark-up cost on the summay tasks, go to Customize, Fields, select your "mark-up" field and set up the Summay tasks report to "Sum"

2. to calculate the total cost after mark-up, use another user defined field and create a new formula

3. to have a different mark-up for manpower or material resources, add a if then else condition in your formula
