Non-Labor Resources (NLR) let you maintain consistency of common project costs across your organization. NLRs allow you to manage independently external costs and Labor on Work Items. Project Managers can plan the capacity of travel expenses, hardware, software, external consultant, or materials on Work Item and manage financials independently from User resources. 

The NLR module displays all of the non-labor resources that have been added to the organization.

NLR in the organization can be OpEx or CapEx. Capital expenditures are a company's major, long-term expenses while operating expenses are a company's day-to-day expenses. Examples of CapEx include physical assets, such as buildings, equipment, machinery, and vehicles. Examples of OpEx include external consultant salaries, rent, utilities, and property taxes.

There is no timesheets, permissions, or license associated with NLRs

Who can do this? 

Your organization's Admin can define whether your Profile has access to this module and if you can add or delete items. Profile configuration for the entity will define related items, fields, actions and other layouts that Users will access to.
