ContractRoleCost

IMPORTANT  The SOAP API entered a limited enhancement phase in Q4 2020. Access to version 1.6 will eventually be deactivated. At this time, there is no end-of-lifecycle date.

This entity describes a per hour cost for labor that is set at the contract level. This cost overrides a resource's Admin level internal cost rate for time entries posted against the contract. Time entry dates must fall within the active dates of the contract. The cost rate is associated with a resource and a role.
