 In this training video, we're going to look at adding cost for a cost resource. So for task 5, a consultant has been added for the design of the job packs, but if we go look at the resource sheet view, the consultant has no cost against the cost resource. So there's no cost being put in against this consultant. Now this is when project views become quite important within Microsoft Project. So there's no way to get cost put against this consultant and that's going to be the same for any cost type of resource. But I can do it not through resource sheet view, but through another view. So here's the consultant, no cost, and I'm just going to go to the cost table first. So I'm going to go back to the Gantt chart. I'm just going to review the cost table against the tables cost. So right now we can see the organ's advertising. We can see, and they're advertising, there's a 1,640 cost for the total of advertising. And at the moment, design job packs has a 720 pound cost, which is against the HR manager present, and that's against the rate applied to the HR manager. Well let's say the consultant charges just £1,500 for helping with the design of the job packs. So that's going to hugely increase advertising, but it's also going to hugely increase the cost of the design job packs. So this is what we're about to do now by adding cost for the cost resource, which is a consultant in this example. So I'm going to change the table view back to entry. Now to do this, we change views. I like to change views to the task tab to task usage. So it's the usage of the task. So it's, I'm going to go to task usage. Now for the design job pack, which is this task here, here's a consultant, but I can now assign a cost to this consultant in task usage view. I can double click and here I can add a cost. So here is the cost I'm going to put in 1,500 decimal charges. Click OK. Now if I go back and change my views, go to Gantt chart view first. I can now see a cost against the consultant. So when you add a cost resource, the cost goes on the Gantt chart against that cost resource. So I can see the consultant cost me, it cost us £1,500 in this example. Well, if I go back to the table view now for cost table, I can now clearly see that the design job pack says increased hugely from the 720 and the advertising has changed and that will then induce and that will have also affected the total cost. So this is how you can manage cost resources and add in cost for a cost resource through task usage view. I'm going to change the table back, but we can now see that the consultant has a cost and this couldn't have been put in through the resource sheet view, which is a standard opening cost. So we can still see there's no cost showing against the consultant. So this is when project gets important to know some of the views. So a cost resource now, I added the cost to a cost resource and I'll go to task usage view and then if I double click consultant, there's the £1,500 I put in. If I say for example, if this was incorrect and it was £2,500, quickly updated £2,500, plan chart shows the update, cost table will show the impact on cost and there we go it's updated itself again. So this now completes the training video on using cost resources but also been able to add cost for a cost resource using the task usage view.
