Set Up Project Control

Use the Project Control Setup page to enter information about how your enterprise tracks labor and overhead and applies these costs to projects.

The page has multiple tabs, each focused on a different area.

Tab	Description
Summary	This tab shows you all of the work that you have done on the other tabs.
Time Analysis	Use this tab to set up the Time Analysis report, which lets you review how your employees are using their time. You can view employee time from several perspectives, using comparisons of direct time, indirect time, and total time worked. An analysis of indirect time helps you monitor paid time off and control non-billable time. See the Time Analysis help topic for more information.
Labor Accounts	Use this tab to set up direct and indirect labor accounts associated with specific employee types, such as Employee, Management, and Principal. When an employee charges time to a regular or indirect project, the labor cost is charged automatically to the appropriate account. Use the Override Labor Accounts section to set up exceptions to these rules. See the Employee Types Settings Overview help topic for more information.
Absence Accruals	Use this tab to identify the absence accruals (vacation, sick leave, etc.) that your enterprise tracks for its employees. For each absence accrual, you specify if you want to show the accrual balance on employee timesheets and if you want to set up an absence request approval process and, if so, the employee who is the approval administrator. You also set up a project of range of projects for each accrual. See the Accruals Processing Overview help topic for more information.
Overhead Allocation	Use this tab to define how the costs accumulated in overhead projects (such as vacation pay, sick time, rent, utilities, office supplies, and administration) will be distributed to regular, revenue-producing projects. See the Overhead Allocation help topic for more information.
