(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
I would like to enter budget cost by loading resources and expenses on activities (for example carpenter 8 hrs, truck 1 day, lumber $250), but our accounting system tracks cost at a higher level, so I would like to enter actuals at a higher level. Is this doable? When I tried entering actuals at the summary level, I couldn't find a way to add summary cost without adding resources, and if I add resources then I am addinig to the man-hours in the schedule. I am new to using P6 for cost, so I may simply be exposing my ignorance. Any help is appreciated.

WBS-summary is always related to a wbs. Relationships can be assigned but are ignored. I would use them because costs in general are related to a wbs.
LoE covers a group of activities independent from a wbs. You'll need a predecessor and a successor.

Is thre any difference between using a LOE task to spread cost or a WBS summary task?

Hi Mel
If you do a detailed planning in P6 it is quite common to do cost- and resource planning on a higher level. Try level of effort (similar to hammocks) type activities which span over a group of activities for the assignments.
Good planning!
