Summary Fields Description
Cost

The amount of money that is spent to produce something of value. In a task plan, a cost is the amount of money that is spent while finishing a task. For example, a resource's hourly billing rate or the cost of renting a tractor (a material resource) for a day. A cost can be associated with a task, a resource, an assignment, or a task plan.

Duration

A duration is the total amount of time required to complete a task, based on a task's start and finish dates.
