Costpoint Setup Prerequisites
Certain tasks must be performed in Costpoint before you run the ICS report.
The following setup must be in place in Costpoint before running ICS reports:
-
Costpoint must be reconciled between the General Ledger, Project Ledger, and Statement of Indirects.
-
The Incurred Cost Submission Codes on the Manage Government Contract Information screen () must be completed.
-
Pools must be properly identified in the Pool Type field on the Manage Cost Pools screen. Several of the schedules use the default Costpoint configured pool types to select and organize information, where pool type numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are considered Overhead Type Pools. Pool type number 5 is, by default, considered a G&A Type Pool. You can modify the default Costpoint pool types from the Manage Allocation Groups screen. Note that if you make changes to the standard Costpoint configuration, you must also modify the Cognos Analytics reports accordingly.
The default Costpoint pool types are:
-
Pool Type 1 — FRINGE
-
Pool Type 2 — OVERHEAD
-
Pool Type 3 — MAT HANDLG
-
Pool Type 4 — SUB CONTR
-
Pool Type 5 — G&A
-
Pool Type 6 — HM OFF G&A
-
-
To run the ICS report, Schedule J, you must have the Costpoint Purchasing module. The Purchase Order area of this module is used as a source for subcontractor information on this schedule.
