Project Cost Objects and Standard Costs Objects (Resources)

You can use this option to export the project cost objects and standard costs objects (Resources) to the ESP.

Export project cost objects and standard costs objects (Resources) data

Cost objects are included in the export only if the cost type is selected and if the Used in Schedule option is selected in the respective cost object sessions. Using these options, it is possible to prevent that cost objects that are not required are included in the XML to ensure that the files are manageable.

This data is exported to the ESP:

  • Identification information specified in the Transfer Resource group box such as the resource type and cost object.
  • Scheduling information such as the Calendar.
  • Costing information such as the sales price and cost rate.
  • Additional information such as employee information, user account, and email address from the Employees (tccom0501m000) session.
