Discussion

You can assign cost resources to tasks at the same time you assign work resources and material resources to tasks. As with material resources, cost resources do not perform work and do not typically impact the schedule, you can also wait and assign them when you begin to enter cost information.

When you assign a cost resource to a task, you need to enter the cost of the resource required for the task.

You assign cost resources in the Assign Resources dialog box, just as you assign work resources. In the cost field, you enter the amount of the resource needed for the task. If you have a cost resource called Airline fares, you simply enter the amount, such as 1200 for $1200 cost of the airline ticket.
