MAINTAIN COST FEE OVERRIDES

Use this screen to set an override fee percent on each of the elements of direct cost for the project. The system uses this override fee percent in place of the percent entered in the Basic Revenue Info screen (Projects » Project Setup » Revenue Setup) when computing revenue and billings. You can also set an override fee on hours when using the Cost Incurred Plus Fee on Hours (CPFH) revenue or billing formula. This screen is available for all revenue formulas.

You can set fee overrides at a higher level than the revenue formula. For example, you can set up the fee override on travel for this project at the top level of the project, even if the revenue formula exists at a lower level. When overrides exist at multiple project levels, the system looks for the closest override at the same project level or higher in the project tree.

Use this screen to initially set up any fee override percentages that apply to direct cost for a project. Additional maintenance of the data on this screen is required only when a fee override percentage changes, or when a new one must be entered.

Project

Enter, or use to select, the project for which you are entering cost fee overrides. You can enter cost fee percent overrides at any level of the project; they do not have to be at or below the revenue level.

The non-editable field to the right displays the description of the selected project.

Table Window

Account

Click the New Line button on the toolbar, then enter, or use to select, the number for any account contained in the Account Group for the project, exclusive of the accounts that have a function code of Revenue, Billed, or Unbilled-General.

Account Name

This non-editable column displays the description of each account number displayed in the Account column.

Fee Percent

This column displays the fee override percent. Override percents can be positive, negative, or zero.

Fee on Hours

If you are using a Cost Incurred Plus Fee on Hours (CPFH) billing or revenue formula, enter the fee override.

Apply to (RBA)

This column displays a code that determines whether the override percent applies to the Revenue, Billing, or Both computations. Available codes include the following: R (Revenue), B (Billings), and A (both Revenue and Billings).

Any rows that display an Apply to (RBA) code will be saved. Rows that have a "0.00" Fee Percent entered and no Apply to (RBA) code will not be saved. To place an override on a particular account, you must enter both the Fee Percent and the Apply to (RBA) code.
