[Resource] Category Maintenance Form

For each category you assign to a project resource, Project and Job Costing provides a category maintenance form specific to the resource.

Each resource Category Maintenance form includes an Estimates tab that shows both the original and the revised estimates, the actuals, and the committed costs for the selected resource.

A Transactions tab also appears for Employee categories. The Transactions tab lets you specify the source for the default unit cost (for PJC employees) and the billing rate when you use the category on the selected employee's timecards.

While a project has an Estimate status you can:

• Add new categories for a selected resource.

• For time and materials projects, if the project and category are both billable, change the billing type for the resource category.

• Enter your estimate of the quantity, unit cost, and cost plus percentage required for each resource category, as well as the revenue you expect the resource to generate.

• Enter a projected start date and a projected end date for the resource category.

When a project is open, you can specify the current start date and the current end date for the resource category.
