That's what the Cost Rate Tables in the Resource Information screen are
about. Bob has a number of skills, lets say he can work as both a
pipefitter and an electrician and is a member in good standing of both
unions so he can be assigned either type of work. Electricians get $50 per
hour, pipefitters get $60. Enter $50 as the Standard Rate on Rate Table A
and $60 as the Standard Rate on Rate Table B. Whenver you assign Bob to a
task, his rate defaults to that listed in Table A. If this particular task
is electrical work you're set. But if it's pipefitting work, use the
Assignment Information in one of the Usage views to change the governing
table from A to B.
