# Project budget line types

Project budget lines support the following types:

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Resource | Supports resources of the type **Person** and type **Machine**. |
| Item | Supports items of the types **Inventory**, **Service**, and **Non-Inventory**. |
| G/L Account | The **No.** field filters on G/L accounts marked as **Direct Posting**. |
| Text | Free text field, or select a **Standard Text Codes** entry in the **No.** field. Lines of the type Text are also created when an extended text is defined for a resource, item, or G/L account. Extended texts are inserted automatically or with the **Insert Ext. Text** action on the **ProjectBudget Lines** page. |
| Surcharge | Select from the **Surcharge Components** list in the **No.** field, or insert with the **Apply Surcharge Model** action on the **ProjectBudget Lines** page. The surcharge model must be specified on the project task. |
| Resource Group | To budget at a higher level than the individual resource, select a resource group in the **No.** field. The current resource group cost and prices are retrieved. You can further specify cost and price selection with the work type code. Resource groups are also accepted on the ProjectPlanning lines. |
| Item Category | To budget at a higher level than the individual item, select an item category in the **No.** field. Costs and prices must be specified manually. Item categories are not accepted on the ProjectPlanning lines. |
