With this feature, Project Service will support a unit–based pricing method for expense categories. This will enable scenarios such as the following:
Mileage reporting on projects by traveling consultants.
Pricing by project deliverables based on units of work. A number of industry verticals like accounting firms (where tax returns are priced by unit) and BPO firms (where support calls are priced by units of calls processed) will be able to leverage this capability to estimate and track projects costs and revenue closer to their business model.
Providing a way to price and cost for subcontracted deliverables as delivery units. When subcontracted work doesn't need to be tracked at the granularity of time or expenses incurred by the vendor but rather in terms of units of output completed and delivered by the vendor, the ability to model the vendor's delivery units as a category of expense that can be priced by unit will be a key capability.
