Setup Steps

Step Description
1 Decide which approach to use. You may want to review the background materials in the Concepts section of the help before you make this decision.
2 Decide on an internal transfer price.
3 Set up Labor Cross Charge globally for each approach that you use:
  • Enable Labor Cross Charge.
  • Enable Create Labor Adjustment, Create Journal Entry, or both.
  • Set up new general ledger accounts for journal entries, if applicable.
  • Populate account number fields with general ledger account numbers.
  • Populate internal transfer price fields, if applicable.
4 Continue setup at the organization level, in Individual Organization Setup (Settings > Organization > Individual).

In Individual Organization Settings, you can:

  • Reference special projects/phases/tasks for each organization.
  • For each organization, populate the project fields with the new projects/phases/tasks.
  • Override the global transfer price settings at the organization level (optional).
5 Override global and organization settings at the project level, if applicable. On the Accounting tab of the Projects hub (in the desktop application), specify the cross-charge method and the transfer price.
