Use this screen to enter prior fiscal year hours and amounts for employees and vendors by labor category. History is entered against a project/account/ organization combination. Organizations, projects, and accounts entered must exist in their respective tables but need not be currently open.

Use this drop-down list to select an accounting period. All project history for a given fiscal year must be applied to the same period number.

Once Costpoint is operational, the system will update this field with the actual period in which the transaction occurred.
Use this drop-down list to select a subperiod. All project history for a given fiscal year and period must be applied to the same subperiod. Once Costpoint is operational, the system will update this field with the actual subperiod in which the transaction occurred.

Enter the billing rate before discount. This is for informational purposes only. If you are not using billing discounts, this column is hidden. The Load Labor Rates process updates this field.
Use this drop-down list to select the rate type for this project's PLC. Valid options are:
A - Actual
B - Billing
C - Ceiling Rate
S - Standard
The A rate type divides actual amount paid by actual hours (actual amount/actual hours) to obtain the rate during the load labor rates process. The A selection allows the application of multipliers to the rate for revenue and billing calculations. The B rate type uses the T&M project rate that does not include multipliers. The C rate calculates the A rate, then compares it with the ceiling and uses the lesser of the two rates. The C selection allows the application of multipliers to the rate for revenue and billing calculations. The S rate is equal to the Salary or Hourly rate per employee in the Salary Info and History screen (People » Employee » Basic Employee Setup). This rate reflects the standard rate without any auto adjusting on the timesheet. Multipliers will be applied against the S rate type. Once Costpoint is operational, the Rate Type field will be updated during the Load Labor Rates process.
Enter the effective bill date used for retrieving billing rates.
This column displays the allowable hours for this employee (vendor)/labor category for the entered fiscal year/period/subperiod. The allowable hours are the billable hours. Non-billable hours are not included here.
