Project Line properties for a fixed amount

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

We have a situation where we need to record extra cost when timesheets are posted. An example would be one of our team is working away from home and submits their timesheet. Because of the working away from home the person is entitled to a £50 pay supplement. This extra £50 cost needs to be reflected in the project.

I have explored the use of Line Properties as a way to add the extra cost but these only allow for a cost percentage.

Can anyone think of a way to achieve a fixed amount cost addition via timesheet entry?

    Hi Mark Dillon,

    You can make use of the indirect cost functionality that can add some costs on top of some categories. Yet, this would require that you have separate categories for working from the office vs. working away from home. If you already have separate categories, the question is why not setting up specific cost prices for those categories.

    Rather than making use of indirect costs and the extra charges that can be setup through line properties, I would personally prefer separate categories because you can analyze and report on them separately through the standard project control forms. Using indirect costs and/or line properties do not allow this.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    We are almost there with your indirect costs suggestion I think. Im trying to get it to apply a fixed amount per day regardless of hours but im not sure if that's achievable.

    Hi Mark Dillon,

    I am not aware of any automatic functionality that would allow you adding a fixed amount per day. The indirect cost feature allows you adding a specific amount on top of each posting but it is not a fixed amount independent of the number of hours entered. To get a fixed amount posted and invoiced you would have to think about alternative Workarounds or make an adjustment.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
