The Project Management costing add-on connects the Project Management application to the Cost
Management application to allow for estimating and tracking the costs associated with projects.

This plugin enables the following project costing features:

* Estimate group resource costs during project planning.
* Tracking the actual cost of each user resource for a project.
* Track actual project task costs from time cards and other project expenses.
* Allocate project costs to the business.
* Represent project costs to the CIs that the project affects.
* Rollups of actual task expenses to parent tasks and the project record.

The Project and Cost applications work together as shown in the diagram:

The following properties are available with this plugin:  
{#c_ProjectManagementCostingAddOn__table_f1m_cch_jq__entry__3}

| Description | Property Name | Notes |
|-|-|-|
| For planned tasks types, calculate the actual cost field using the total of expense lines for the task. | glide.cost_mgmt.calc_actual_cost | Default: true. This property is from Cost Management. When an expense line is created against any task of planned_tasktype and this property is true, the system gets a sum of the costs for all the expense lines and sets the total cost in the work_cost field. |
| When creating a task expense line should the system also create expense lines for the top task? | glide.cost_mgmt.process_task_top_task | Default: true |
| Enable project cost rollup (estimated and actual) - updating the cost of a project task updates the cost of its parent. | com.snc.project.rollup.cost | Default: true |

| Name | Table | Description |
|-|-|-|

When an expense line is created against any task of planned_tasktype and this property is true, the system gets a sum of the costs for all the expense lines and sets the total cost in the work_cost field. |
| Process Top Task Parent | \[fm_expense_line\] | Default: true |
