How do I add resources and enter their quantities and costs?

1. In an expanded activity, click the blank resource row. Choose Labour, Equipment, Materials, Subcontractors or Other costs.
2. Select a company or bid resource where offered, or enter an independent cost with description, quantity, unit and rate. Choose Add cost line.
3. Edit Resource quantity in the cost table and use its Save button. Hourly quantities are worker/machine counts, including fractional usage; direct quantities are totals in the saved unit unless a quantity rule applies.

For a fixed lump sum, use quantity 1 and unit LS. Changing a unit label does not convert the quantity. Independent costs use quantity × rate. Hourly resources follow activity duration. Reusable resource prices can be updated through Bid resources, where you choose the affected uses.
