Lesson 3 - Assigning Costs

which is the default value for material resources. It is important that you do not change the Units value or the costs will increase. If you need to make changes to a fixed cost, you do so in the Std. Rate field for the resource.

Since fixed cost material resources do not impact the schedule, the duration of the task does not change when you assign the resource. Likewise, if the duration changes, the resource cost for the task remains fixed. You can assign resources with fixed costs to tasks that have other resources assigned to them.
