Hi all,
I have added my man hours as resources (labour) with cost per hours to get the total cost of manhours.
I want to be able to produce a project cost s curve and I now want to add the procurement costs and the subcontracts. What is the general consensus.
Should I add the procurement costs as resources of material type and the subcontracts as resources of non labour type.
or
Should I add both as expenses.
What are the merits and downsides of both options?
Thank you in advance for any comments.

Oldest first- 0David Kelly ·probably the most important consideration is whether the material and subcontracts are "lump sum" or "per diem".
In P5 expenses are always "lump sum". Whether Resources on an activity are lumpsum or per diem is an attribute of the duration type ( this means that ALL resources on a single activity are ALL lumpsum or ALL per diem).
So an activity with a duration type of "Fixed duration and units per time" has resources that are per diem, and the expenses - say bulk materials - are lump sum.
Have fun!
