In ProjeQtOr, you can define Expenses in Financial menu : project expenses or individual expenses (when liked to a resource)

For "expense" of resource work, in ProjeQtOr it is called Cost.
So there is a difference between "expense" and "cost" (you'll see 2 lines on project summary).

You can define the validate "cost" for each activity, but no validated "expense" for each activity, as expenses are not linked to activity.
You can define validate cost and expense at project level.
Pay attention that validated data may be consolidated from tasks (elementary activity) to project, or not, depending on global parameter "consolidate validated work & cost"

Hi,

Same question regarding project expenses : I indicated a value for project validated expenses on one project, but now field is grey and can't be modified any longer.
How can I modify it? Why is field blocked? (any functionality behind)?
Thanks

If "validated" cost (or work) is greyed, it means it is consolidated from sub-tasks.

Thanks for answer, specially today!
My question is not regarding cost (that I understood are consolidated from activities behind. I am speaking of project expenses that I understand are managed at project level. My project has no sub-project, so no consolidation possible.
So why is expenses greyed (I was able to give a value and then it turned grey).
Thanks again.

I don't succed to reproduce this case on another project.
Don't understand how I got this project in that state??
Could you tell me in which table are those validated expenses stored?
Thanks again.

This can happen if project has sub-project and validate expense is defined at sub-project.
If it's not your case, please provide print screen. It may be an unexpected behavior.

I found all these datas are managed in table 'planningelement', and for the project with problem, field ValidatedCalulated was '1'. I modified it in database and can now modify validated expenses.
I don't know how I managed to get this (since I don't have any sub-project, but perhaps I had during tests?) and don't succed to reproduce. If I get it again, I will create a new post then.
Thanks.

It seems that if you attach a sub-project to project P, field then becomes grey (which is normal).
But if then you attach sub-project to another project, project P still stay with field in grey (which is no longer OK).
