Vary Resource Billing Rates

You can vary a resource's billing rate to show more accurately the total cost a resource has on your project. For example, you may want to show a varying billing rate if a resource gets a pay raise mid-project. You can update a resource's billing rate using:

• CA Clarity PPM if you are using Open Workbench with CA Clarity PPM.
• Open Workbench for performing what-if scenarios on your project.

  You can save the changes that you make to the resource's billing rate to an Open Workbench .rmp project file but you cannot save these changes back to CA Clarity PPM.

For Example:

Suppose that a resource's billing rate is based on the following rate matrices:

• 2006 Rate Matrix. $50 billing rate for all resources and roles from January 2006 to December 2006.
• 2007 Rate Matrix. $55 billing rate for all resources and roles from January 2007 to December 2007.
• Network Administrator Rate Matrix. $65 billing rate for resources who are network administrators from January 10, 2006 to January 28, 2006.

To vary a resource's billing rate, in a view that displays resource billing rate data, double-click the resource's Billing Rate cell and enter the new rate. To change the altered billing rates back to a single rate for a resource, open the General tab on the Resource Properties dialog and edit the rate.

Note: For more information, see the Project Management User Guide.
