You can view cost, profitability, and effort for resources. If the resource breakdown structure contains a level for suppliers, you can view cost, profitability, and effort for the contingent workers that the supplier is responsible for. You can also compare actual costs to planned amounts, and drill down to detail amounts to investigate the causes of variances against budgets and forecasts.

To view project performance reporting information by resource, you must attach at least one resource breakdown structure to your project and designate it for primary reporting. The resource breakdown structure that you designate for primary reporting is used as the default resource breakdown structure for displaying information by resource on project performance reporting pages. You can optionally choose a different resource breakdown structure when you are viewing performance reporting pages.
