Primavera Tip: Rate Source Override

Since v5.0, I have been under the impression that a resource was limited to 5 “rate types” in Primavera.  Today, I was informed of a field available in the Resource tab that allows a user to select a “Rate Source”.  The values in the rate source field are “Role”, “Resource” and “Override”.  Override allows the user to plug in the custom rate for the resource at the activity assignment level.

We therefore are no longer limited to what was essentially 10 rates (5 role, 5 resource) for a resource assignment.

Wish I could go back to several demos and change my answer.
