The XTRF Platform allows you to create in-house vendors. That means that the employees of your company - Home Portal users - can also perform jobs in projects as regular vendors. Despite them not being external contractors, you might want to include the costs of the in-house vendors' work in your project’s cost calculations. To make this possible, your vendor has to:

• be assigned to a project’s job as an in-house vendor. To learn how to create an in-house vendor, see the How to indicate that a vendor is on a payroll? article

• log their work time using the Work log menu (to learn how to do this, see the Work Log feature - Log your work guide).

If those two prerequisites are fulfilled, a Work Log payable will appear in the list of the job’s payables.

Work Log payables are created automatically, based on the time logged by the Home Portal user that is assigned to a certain job as an in-house vendor. As well as other payables, they can be found in Projects module → Project → Job display → Payables tab.

The rates for the payable are taken from the vendor’s price profile. If there are no corresponding rates, the only data those payables have after creation is time spent on a job (the Quantity section). In this case, the cost of the in-house vendor’s work should be added manually. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Go to the Payables tab of the job in question.

2. Click the icon for the Work Log Payable. The Work Log Payable pop-up window appears.

3. Provide the Rate Value.

4. Click the Save button.

5. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page.
