Yes, it is called Cost Resources. It helps you more accurately monitors
Project financials by assigning multiple costs to a task, tying costs to account

affect Cost Resources.
Material resources are expected to tie directly to the work contour. Cost
Resources should be independent from the work contour and don't accrue in the same
fashion as material resources.
After launch, the Project Resource Kit will include guides on configuration,
security, administration and more.A documentation including summaries and links to
information about planning, developing and deploying solutions based on Project is
available at Microsoft Office Developer Center for Project
