This article describes how to update costs for materials and other items in Next Project.

The "Update Costs on Project" function manages costs for internal resources such as time, machinery, and materials. The function charges projects with costs for these resources, and simultaneously, revenue is generated on personnel and/or machine projects. This is comparable to internal leasing of personnel and machines. This is currently handled automatically and controlled through basic settings.

Setting up basic data for the Machinery/Material function:

1. Check that there is, or create, project 10000 Machinery/Material.

   

2. The project should be set up so that time reporting is not possible, i.e., status Admin in the standard version of Next Project.

3. Resources that should be included in the calculation of machinery/material costs should be linked to the parent project 10000 Machinery/Material. This is done by selecting the parent project in the price list for the resources.

   

Setting up basic data for the time function:

1. Check that there is, or create, project 10050.

   

2. The project should be set up so that time reporting is not possible, i.e., status Admin in the standard version of Next Project.

3. Resources that should be included in the calculation of time costs should be linked to the organizational project 10050 Personnel Costs. This is done by choosing Organizational Project in the user registry under administration.
