Important Information
- When this option is selected for a project at WBS level 1 (the project level), Vision prints the add-on amount at the end of the invoice, before the Invoice Totals. If this option is selected for WBS level 2 (phase) or WBS level 3 (task), the amount prints on the invoice in the section with detail for that particular phase or task. If
Separate Terms is not selected, the add-on percentage must be specified at the project-level for the percentage to print on the invoice.
- If an add-on percentage is defined at the project level and that project has phases or tasks that have separate billing terms defined, the add-on defined at the project’s billing terms will not impact any phase or task.
- If an add-on percentage is defined at the project level and that project has phases or tasks that do not have separate billing terms, then the add-on at the project level applies to the phases or tasks with no terms defined.
Example
Project A has three phases.
- An add-on is defined as 2% at the project level billing terms.
- An add-on is defined as 3% at Phase 1's billing terms.
- An add-on is defined as 4% at Phase 2's billing terms.
In this example, Phase 1 and 2 will use the add-ons defined in the Phase 1 and Phase 2 billing terms (3% and 4%, respectively). Phase 3 will use the 2% add-on percentage defined in the project level billing terms.

|
| Lab

Select this option if you want the add-on calculation to be based on consultant billings. This only applies if consultant billings are broken out from
other reimbursables.
|
| Fee
|
Select this option if you want the add-on calculation to be based on fee billings.
|
| Unit
|
Select this option if you want the add-on calculation to be based on unit billings.
|
| AddOn
|
Select this option if you want the add-on to apply to the sum of the previous add-ons. Vision applies the percentage to all add-ons with lower sequence numbers.
|
| Account
|
Select the revenue account to which the project’s add-on fee charges will be posted. Selecting an account in this field overrides the company-wide account, for this project only, for add-on fees and allows you to direct the add-on fee charges for the project to a separate revenue account.
If you do not enter an account here, Vision uses the company-wide revenue account for add-ons as specified on the Accounts tab of the Billing Setup form.
