The current ability in WF is very limited to controlling rates for specific time periods.

We need the ability to manages all types of rates & roles for specific time periods. That could be a user hourly cost rate, a role based cost rate, etc.

This is a key missing piece of Workfront. Rates change over time, however my project financials only reflect the current rates. This is extremely painful for me when a resource moves from India to US or US to India...same resource, however VERY different rates.

Yes, definitely a pain point....I got my hopes up last year when they delivered functionality to maintain Billing Rates within a project for multiple time periods. However, that is where it stopped. We need the ability to maintain multiple Billing Rates for our Contractors on the User; especially with a Contractor has a rate changes during the year.

This is absolutely necessary for our teams to be able to trust the financial data that comes out of workfront. Please provide as soon as possible.

This would be great functionality for both year-over-year cost rate changes, as well as our hope to charge short-term "rush" rates for designated projects.

I agree Lidia, unfortunately we haven't reached the minimum number votes (45) for them to put this into consideration.

Does anyone have any updates on this request? Its become a significant problem, especially with the year on year cost changes for our company, and its such a core function of any project management tool, I'm surprised WF is not taking this more seriously.

In the past, I've called this Cost per hour rates with effective dates. That means we would be able to say from this date to that date, the cost per hour for a specific user (or role) is $X. There should be no limit to the number of cost records we can enter. The minimum increment of cost should be the calendar day. No need to include effective hours of the day.
