Define additional costs for tasks
Except the costs with the resources, a task may also involve other costs (which may not necessary depend on its duration).
You can add such costs in the
Fixed cost column. In order to establish the distribution of the fixed cost set an accrual method in
Accrual column:
start/end if the cost is incurred at
start/end of the task and
prorated if the cost is proportionally distributed on the task.
In the right panel you can see a time phased cost distribution of the tasks.
This view can also be selected by clicking on
Define additional costs for tasks in the
Project Guide.
If you have financial restrictions related to the cash-flow maximum values you can move or link tasks, delay tasks using a lag time
or simply redistribute resources (if the distribution of costs is related to the distribution of resources over time).
