Hi All,
I have a question regarding a non-labour resource as per the screenshot below:
Resource ID: WAGON BAL 1 represents the ballast wagons that are used to freight the ballast to the rail project site. The price unit for this resource is set at a daily hire rate of $225.00/d in the resources section (I'm unsure as to why it is displaying as $675.00/d in the screenshot).
In terms of the resource details, it is set as a non-labour resource (therefore no unit of measure can be assigned), with a 12hrs/7d per week calendar and a default units / time setting of 10.00hr.
All activity durations within these schedules are hourly (If you're wondering why the original duration in the screenshot is 0.02, it's because there are no labour resources assigned to this activity - they are baked into the unit price of the non-labour resources i.e. train drivers). I will create a dummy resource with no value to enable a 10hr duration to be assinged to the activity.
My question is, even though the resource has been created with a daily unit rate, how can I apply that in the total cost field - for example, 20 wagons x $225.00p/d = total costs of $4500.00?
Cheers,
Jesse
