Settings and Project Budgeting

The Deltek settings that your enterprise chooses control access to cost and burden rates. You can also control whether or not estimate-to-complete (ETC), estimate-at-completion (EAC), and job-to-date (JTD) amounts display on the Project Budget Worksheet.

Option	Description	Location
Project Budget Worksheet	This option determines your ability to view, or work with, data on the Project Budget Worksheet.	Accounting tab of Settings > Security > Roles
Labor Cost Rates/Amounts	This option determines your access to labor cost rates and amounts on the Labor Costs Tab of the worksheet. You can see the JTD Spent column on the worksheet only if you have Full Access to this option.
Labor Burden Rates/Amounts	This option controls your ability to work with burdened rates, which combine actual labor cost and overhead into a single detail line.
Project Fee Entering Method	If the Project Fee Entering Method option is set to At Lowest Level Only (System will Automatically Update Higher Levels), then any changes that you make to the following fields on the Summary tabs of the Project Budget Worksheet cause Deltek to recalculate values for all elements that are higher up in the work breakdown structure: Direct Labor Direct Expense Direct Consultant Reimbursable Expense Reimbursable Consultant	General tab of Settings > Advanced Accounting > System
Synchronize Fees from Contract to Project	If this option is selected and contract information exists on the Contract Management tab of the Projects hub (desktop), you cannot edit the compensation amounts (Direct Labor, Direct Expense, and so on) on the Budget Summary dialog box because their values are based on the contract information.
Reporting at Burdened Rates	This option enables burdened rates, which combine the actual labor cost and overhead into a single detail line. To calculate burdened rates, Deltek uses the overhead rate from the most recent overhead allocation run. When you use burdened rates, overhead columns do not appear on the worksheet because the overhead is included in the labor columns.	Reporting tab of Settings > Advanced Accounting > System
Enable Budgeting by Vendor	This option controls whether you can view or edit the Vendor and Vendor Name columns on the worksheet.	Project Budgeting tab of Settings > Advanced Accounting > System
Show Estimate-to-Complete Amounts	This option displays estimate-to-complete amounts, which tell you how much additional money must be spent from today through the end of the project to complete the work.
Show Estimate-at-Completion Amounts	This option displays estimate-at-completion amounts, which tell you the total amount of money that will have been spent at the end of the project.
Show Job-to-Date Amounts	Job-to-date amounts tell you how much money has been spent since the project began.
