Thanks Lokesh
Appreciate the reply - so there is no way to settle or distribute the amount from a free cost object.
Is it possible to create a journal entry to post the costs from a free cost object to a cost centre or direct cost project ?
If this is the case it seems that a direct cost project might be a better option as the cost is immediately settled to the cost centre and then I am able to distribute or allocate (time-sheet) to a customer project.
Thanks again
Chris
