Est Vs Act

As part of the planning phase using the Graphical Scheduler, I cannot see the summation of the hrs or/and costs. For example, a well-planned work order has at least one craft/crew type assigned, however, when placed into a Work Group or for even that matter just a work order with tasks, I cannot see the rolled up cost/hrs. In order to do this I need to hyperlink to the work order, select View, View Costs.

Equally, after approval and costs/hrs are getting incurred, I cannot see the rolled up costs.

Taking note that on the work order there are cost/hrs field which do sum, but only for costs incurred to that work order. These I can display, but they do not roll-up. For example, I plan/actual a craft/labor to Task 10, the cost stays on the Task 10 work order and is not reflected on a searchable field on the parent.

I would like to see the addition of the ESTTOTALCOST, ESTTOTALHRS, ACTTOTALHRS, ACTTOTALCOST being made available to GS.
