Overhead Projects

In DPS you charge all indirect labor costs and indirect expenses to overhead projects. DPS then distributes these overhead costs to all regular projects, according to the allocation method you have chosen.

DPS provides you with the following default overhead projects, which you can change during installation:

Project	Description
1.00	General Overhead
2.00	Vacation
3.00	Sick Leave
4.00	Holiday

Use the Projects hub to set up additional overhead projects or to change the default overhead projects. You may also assign tasks to overhead projects.

When you close out the last period of a fiscal year, DPS automatically sets to zero the job-to-date amounts for all overhead projects, so that overhead projects can track expenses for the new year. As a result, overhead is always calculated year-to-date. Promotional projects are not zeroed out at the start of a new year.
