Combining indirect and direct allocation

It is possible to combine direct and indirect allocation, by which the hourly rates for direct allocations has a higher priority than the general hourly rate. This can be useful if you wish an easy attachment of employees to a project, but there are exceptions to the project's general rate settings.

The combination is done by selecting the general hourly rate, setting up the resource group – which then has access to register time for every phase on the project - and then allocating employees directly to the task, where a different rate is used than the general rate.

By assembling a resource group first, you make it easier to search among the group's members, which makes it easier to locate the right person.

PLEASE NOTE! If a resource group member is allocated to a task with a specified hourly rate, then the task's hourly rate has priority in comparison to the hourly rate selected for the resource group member.
