Use this report to compare loaded labor costs and predetermined billing rates. It provides visibility into the profit contributions of each project labor category and that of the individual employees. You can use this to determine whether your billing rates are right for your company. Before printing the T&M Analysis report, you must run the Update Project Status Report Table screen (Projects » Inquiry and Reporting » Report Processing) and Create Project Report Tables screen (Projects » Inquiry and Reporting » Report Processing) for the projects that you plan on printing. You specify the Desired Fee Pct and/or the Desired Markup Pct to be used for the calculations in the Create Project Report Tables screen.
You can print the T&M Analysis report in a variety of ways. If you select the Desired Fee Percent option, the report starts with the average base hourly rate for either the project labor categories or the individual employees, depending on your selection. This average base hourly rate is then burdened with your indirect costs at either actual or target rates, depending on your selection. The result is the burdened hourly rate, which represents the true cost, because it includes both the labor and the applicable share of indirect expenses such as fringe benefits, overhead, and administrative costs. The system then compares your predetermined billing rate to the burdened hourly rate and the profit percentage computed. The system adds the Desired Fee Pct entered in the Create Project Report Tables screen onto the burdened hourly rate to determine the minimum billing rate that you could charge and still reach your profit objectives.
If you cannot use indirect cost burdening, you can select the Desired Markup Percent option. Use this report to enter a markup percentage instead of the cost burdens. The system uses this percentage to mark up the average base hourly rate to arrive at a markup hourly rate. This markup hourly rate and your average base hourly rate are then used to arrive at the profit percentage. The application compares this percentage to your predetermined billing rate profit percentage. As with the Desired Fee Percent report, you can print the Desired Markup Percent report by employee or project labor category and at actual or target rates.
Data for the report is stored in the RPT_PROJ_TMA report table. Base tables updating the report table include PROJ_BURD_SUM and LAB_HS. You must have billing rates set up for the project selected. Revenue must be computed for the report table to contain valid information. In addition, the revenue formula must be one of the four loaded labor rate options: Loaded Labor Rate, Loaded Labor Rate Plus Cost Incurred on Non-Labor (T&M), Loaded Labor Plus Non-Labor Plus Burden On Non-Labor, or Loaded Labor Plus Non-Labor W/Burden W/Fee.
You must run the Update Project Status Report Table and Create Project Report Tables processes before executing the Print T&M Analysis screen. The report table that stores the data for the T&M Analysis, RPT_PROJ_TMA, is updated based on the criteria you selected. For example, assume the report table contains amounts from January 1, 2000 through May 31, 2002. If you elect to update the report table with information from FY 2002, subperiod 1 through 4 of period 5 (May 1-31, 2002), the utility will update only table rows containing amounts for these subperiods. If you want to run reports that include June 2002 data (period 6), you must run the utility to update the table for that period.

Use the options in this group box to determine how costs are burdened and fee applied.
Select this option to burden costs with indirect rates and to use a user-specified fee percent in the calculation of fee per labor hour. You determine the user-specified fee percent when you run the Create Project Report Tables screen (Projects » Inquiry and Reporting » Report Processing).
Select this option to mark up costs by a percentage. No indirect burdens will be applied. You should use this option if you want to see base labor per hour marked up by a flat percent to estimate indirect costs. This option is especially useful in commercial companies where no cost pools are used. No fee is applied. You determine the user-specified markup percent when you run the Create Project Report Tables screen (Projects » Inquiry and Reporting » Report Processing).
Select this option to summarize data by Project Labor Category (PLC). If you select this option, the base labor rate used in calculations will be the average labor rate by project of employees who charged using this PLC.
Select this option to see labor rate detail by employee. If an employee has charged using multiple labor categories, hours are segregated by labor category.
Select the period detail covered by the report.
Use the options in this group box to select the rate type you would like to use on the report.
Select this option to burden project labor on this report with actual rates. These rates are from the Pool Rates subtask of the Cost Pools screen (Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Cost Pool Setup). When you execute the Compute Burden Cost screen (Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Project Cost Processing), the program computes both actual and target rates. This amount is stored in the report table.
Select this option to burden project labor on this report with target rates. These rates are from the Pool Rates subtask of the Cost Pools screen (Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Cost Pool Setup). When you execute the Compute Burden Cost screen (Projects » Cost and Revenue Processing » Project Cost Processing), the program computes both actual and target rates. This amount is stored in the report table.
You can save the report parameters for future use. To save the selected report parameters, click the Save icon on the toolbar after you have entered your report selections. Enter up to 15 alphanumeric characters for identification and a description of the report. Click the OK button to save.
Stored report parameters are especially useful if reports are to be run through Batch Manager. When you create the batch job to be executed, the system uses the report stored in the report parameters to identify report criteria.
The following section details the source of information for each of the columns on the report.
The following columns will appear on the report if you selected the Desired Fee Percent option in the Use group box.
The source of information for this column is the ACT_HRS column of the LAB_HS table. This information can also be found on the Project Labor Summary Report.
The system calculates the value in this column by subtracting the Allowable Hours column from the Total Hours column.
The source for this column is the ALLOW_REV_HRS column of LAB_HS. Allowable Hours will be different from Total Hours if you have exceeded a ceiling.
This information comes from the REV_RT_AMT column of LAB_HS. If you have changed the billing rate during the report period, you must multiply the REV_RT_AMT by the ALLOW_REV_HRS in LAB_HS to arrive at the T&M revenue. Then divide T&M revenue by the ALLOW_REV_HRS to arrive at the average billing rate.
The system calculates the value in this column by dividing the AMT column by the ACT_HRS column from LAB_HS. This is the unburdened cost of the labor. You can also do this calculation using the Project Labor Summary Report.
The system calculates the value in this column by using the appropriate BDM column in PROJ_BURD_SUM. The specific column used depends on the period and rate type selections. The labor is subject to this composite burden percentage.
Example:
Labor is subject to the following burdens:
Fringe |
40% |
Overhead |
80% |
G&A |
10% (applied to fringe and overhead) |
This results in a burden markup of 242%. This is calculated as follows:
Labor amount |
1.00 |
Fringe @ 40% |
+ .40 (1.00 x .40) |
Overhead @ 80% |
+ .80 (1.00 x .80) |
G&A @ 10% |
+ .22 ((1.00 + .40 + .80) x .10) |
Burden Markup |
2.42 |
Multiply by 100 |
242% |
The system calculates the value in this column by multiplying the Average Base Labor Rate column by the Burden Markup % column. This is the labor amount after it has been fully burdened.
The system calculates the value in this column by subtracting the Burden Labor Rate from the Billing Rate and dividing the result by the Burden Labor Rate. This is the profit percentage that you are currently realizing for this labor category or employee.
This column is the desired profit percentage that you entered when you executed the Create Project Report Tables screen (Projects » Inquiry and Reporting » Report Processing).

The system calculates the value in this column by dividing the Gross Profit column by the Total Loaded Cost column and multiplying the result by 100.
The Markup Report contains some of the same columns as the Desired Fee Report. Note that you should print the Desired Fee Report if you want to see how some columns of information were derived on the Markup Report.
The source of information for this column is the ACT_HRS column of the LAB_HS table. This information can also be found on the Project Labor Summary Report.
The system calculates the value in this column by subtracting the Allowable Hours column from the Total Hours column.
The source for this column is the ALLOW_REV_HRS column of LAB_HS. Allowable Hours will be different from Total Hours if you have exceeded a ceiling.
This information comes from the REV_RT_AMT column of LAB_HS.
