The following references might be of interest for those using P6. I do not use it but at times have to deal with P6 schedules by others, so it is good to know.
Some people like to display durations in days, others in hours. My preference is to display durations as well as float values in both units as to showcase how durations in days can be so misleading.

Thanks for your response. I understand that the unit of measure is time based and based on your response it looks like that the 'time' can only be hourly based. I'm surprised that this can't be set as daily time.

Staffing and rentals are issues a Project Manager must plan and mange. Staffing and equipment rentals must follow the schedule, usually it is not fixed by pre-determined dates/Time. Resource schedules are not feasible if not leveled. Cost of idle resources must be considered within the cost model for it to be reliable.
Cost for Resource A = 7$/hr when idle & 10$/hr when in use. Resource A availability is 5 ea during the rental period.
After looking at the schedule resource usage even a rookie PM would schedule to return 2 resources A after Activity 2 finishes. For such a simple schedule making the descicions is easy, but this is not always the case.

Jesse,
Non-Labor Resources has a unit of measure as time.
Budgeted Units = 20 Wagons x 12 hrs / day = 240 hrs / day
Price per Unit = $225 / day divide 12 hrs / day = $18.75 / hr
Budgeted Cost = 240 x $18.75 = $4500
Hope this will help.
