Templates and the burden codes under each template are listed in the order you enter them. MPM applies burdens against a resource in the same order as they are listed in a template, so the order of the burdens is important. The order affects the total dollar amount chargeable against a resource.
In examples A and B that follow, the same burdens are applied against a resource but in two different sequences. In the examples, Prime Dollars = $10.00, and all burdens are 150%.
