POOL RATES

Use this subtask to post and maintain indirect rates for non-service center pools. You can maintain both the current period and year-to-date rates for each pool in allocation group 1 for each fiscal year and period. To include Cost of Money (COM) for a parent level project and its lower levels: 

Select the Apply Cost of Money Rates check box for the parent level project in the Maintain Project Master screen (Projects » Project Setup » Project Master).

          ¨         Do NOT select the Allow Edit check box for the parent level project in the Maintain Project Master screen.

Use this subtask to initialize target, provisional and cost of money rates for each cost pool (no maintenance of pool rates is required for service centers). Actual rates will be posted to this screen as part of the Compute & Print Pool Rates screen (Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Cost Pool Processing & Reporting); however, you can change those rates here. Additional maintenance of the target, provisional, and cost of money rates is required only to make changes. Actual rates are usually system-calculated but can be user-maintained. Target, billing, or cost of money rates are user-maintained.
