    When you say "internal vs. external costs", do you mean "employee vs contractor" ?

    I would like to summarize all external costs, which includes external labor / contractors, but also all dollars paid outside the company such as travel, training, professional services, hardware, software, equipment, and materials.

    Mark,

     

    This would depend on the financial set up of the resources (inc non labour)

    If you have set these resources (travel, training etc) with appropriate transaction classes, then in your reporting you can group these classes into "internal" and "external" based on your business rules.

    I.e. transactions for internal labour would be associated with intlabor and external with extlabor

    if intlabour then 'internal' etc

    Thanks, we are using that approach via Resource Classes and writing a query to summarize the totals.
