Use this screen to set multiplier override percentages for your project's direct costs. This screen is available for all revenue and billing formulas. It is also available for overriding the multipliers in the billable value calculations. The system uses this multiplier percent in place of the percentage entered for this project in the Revenue Info or Billing Info screens when computing billable value, revenue, and billings.
Use this screen for projects that have revenue/billing formulas that use multiplier rates for direct costs such as "Rate Schedule times Multiplier plus Non-Labor times Multiplier," "Contract Value Times % Complete vs. Rate Schedule," or "Labor Cost Times Multiplier plus Non-Labor times Multiplier (Cost) or (Hours)." You can also use this screen for any projects that should have a different multiplier for the billable value computation.
Project override calculations begin with the lowest level project and work to the highest level. The first multiplier override found is applied to that project level and all lower levels. Only one override can exist on each project level.
When setting up a project, use this screen to set up multiplier override percentages for direct costs. You can change the multiplier at any time, but billable value, revenue, and/or billing must be recalculated to include the revised multiplier figure. Additional maintenance of the data on this screen is required only when changing a multiplier override percentage, or when a new one must be entered.
Use the table window in this block to enter multiplier overrides.
Enter, or use Lookup to select, the first account in the range of accounts to use this multiplier. Account ranges cannot overlap and only one override percentage is allowed per account level. You can enter only project-required, detail accounts in this screen.
Enter, or use Lookup to select, the last account in the range of accounts to use this multiplier. Account ranges cannot overlap and only one override percentage is allowed per account level. You can enter only project-required, detail accounts in this screen.
Enter the percentage, either positive or negative, to be used as a multiplier for the selected accounts. The number 1.0 (no multiplier) is the default value.
Enter a multiplier override code in this field. This code will be used by the Calculate Bills (Projects\Process\Billing) and Compute Revenue (Projects\Process\Revenue) processes to enforce multiplier overrides entered in this block. Valid options are "Revenue," "Billing," "Goal," or "All."
