Hi yanjam,

In order to enter a fixed cost, you need to change the Units under resource information to 0%. After which, choose Insert and columns and enter the cost fields.

I am not sure if this works for enterprise.
Can you try out and feedback to me.

Good luck

If the fixed cost is each time you use the resource, it costs say, $200, then on the resource sheet there is a Cost/Use column.

If the fixed cost is related to the task, but not associated with a particular resource - then, while displaying the Gantt Chart, view the Cost table. There is a Fixed Cost column in that table.

Lone84 - I don't quite understand your advice. Setting units to 0% on the Resource Information will make that resource unavailable during the specified time period on the Resource Information page. This will cause the resource to show up as overallocated.
