Hello! Now in mrProject 0.9.1 there are 2 types of resources: "duration" and "material" (I give their names in reverse translation from Russian to English, so in original English version they can have another names). The both depends on time. But very often wee need to include in project time-indepedent cost. Simple example: we planning Intranet network installing in some company. One of the task in this project is the hardware buying (servers, hubs, workstations etc.) In some cases, it takes 5-6 days; in others - 2-3 weeks etc. But everybody understand, that the total price of necessary equipment does not depends on time spent to it's buying - it depends only on equipment's list. Another example. In some project I include the work that is done by external company that take the fixed price for their work (for example, sociological studies). It's very-very difficult to add tasks with time-indepedent price to present mrProject. On my mind, it's necessary to add resource type "fixed price" to mrProject. I think that it will not very difficult: it's enougth not to multiply this resource type's cost to the duration of task, for wich this resource type assigned. Best regards, George.
