Manage Burden Fee Overrides

Use this screen to set an override fee percent on each of the indirect cost pools applicable to the project. Costpoint uses this override fee percent in place of the percent entered on the Manage Revenue Information screen when computing revenue and billings.

This screen is available for all revenue and billing formulas.

You can set fee overrides at a higher level than the revenue or billing 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, Costpoint looks for the closest override at the same project level or higher in the project tree.

Warning: You must add a new line for each fiscal year/pool combination for which the overrides are valid. Indirect cost pools are unique by fiscal year and as a result require a unique line in this table for each pool and fiscal year. Failure to add lines for new fiscal years results in incorrect revenue and billing calculations.

Use this screen after you have set up the project and the related revenue and billing formulas. You should enter any burden fee overrides before you compute revenue or calculate billings.

Additional maintenance of the table in this screen is required only when you begin a new fiscal year, or when a fee override changes, or a new override is needed.

This screen is also available as a subtask on the Manage Project User Flow: Burd Fee Ovrd.
