How do I add costs by phase & task?

Options

I am looking to add costs to my project plan (Smart Sheet). What is the best way. In the end I would like to be able to report on the following: Budget, Costs to Date/Actuals, Encumbered, Forecact to spend, and Ending balance.

    I know this is an old post but rather than post a new one with the same request.....

    have exactly this issue - as a new smartsheet user but moderately experienced PM software user I can't see how to simply allocate a cost to tasks in a sheet I have already created (full of tasks).

    i.e. I have created a sheet of tasks which looks like an appropriate description of the project.  I would now like to add costs to each task - assuming that smartsheet would then be able to deliver something resembling a project budget x time

    This link https://www.smartsheet.com/solutions (offered in this thread), goes to a long list of articles, incidentally outside login. None seems to articulate clearly how to (if it is possible to) add costs without recreating the whole thing in a budget template 

    Thanks for any thoughts

    Still no feedback on adding costs to resources?

    It would appear from the lack of an answer to this query that the functionality to do time-phased budgeting does not exist in Smartsheet. Is there any information to the contrary?
