The following work package types provide a general guideline for the types of resource costs that you can track in a particular work package type.
Defines a work package as a container package used for work. The package is scheduled no earlier than three months from the current reporting period. Planning work packages do not have any schedule or resources assigned. They are on hold until the control account manager is ready to assign scope to them. Planning work packages only require to store the dollar amount for the budget for a future scope of work. You can change the work package type to another work package type at a later date.
Defines a work package for the labor cost element. You can link labor work packages to projects or project tasks.
Defines a work package for labor cost elements, but is for internal contracted labor instead of internal employees. You can link sub-contractor labor work packages to projects or project tasks.
Defines a work package not for assigned labor resources. All that matters are the dollars. No scheduling of hours takes place. You can link other direct costs work packages to project tasks to which expense resources are assigned.
Defines a work package not for assigned labor resources, and only has a dollar amount. You can link material work packages to project tasks to which material resources are assigned.
Defines a work package for external sub-contractors to submit their actuals as dollar amounts, not hours. Scheduling time for external sub-contractors is not required. You can link sub-contractor work packages to project tasks that track costs from external sub-contractors.
Defines a work package that represents all costs in the associated project. Use project work packages for the work packages that you link to projects. The control account manager expects project work packages to have more than one cost type in the total costs and earned value metrics.
