Set Up Project Control

Use the Project Control Setup forms to enter information about how your enterprise tracks labor and overhead and applies these costs to projects.

Each of the setup forms focuses on a different area.

Form	Description
Summary	This form shows you all of the work that you have done on the other forms.
Time Analysis	Use this form to set up the Time Analysis report, which lets you review how your employees are using their time. You can view employee time from several perspectives, using comparisons of direct time, indirect time, and total time worked. An analysis of indirect time helps you monitor paid time off and control non-billable time. See the Time Analysis help topic for more information.
Options	Use this form to indicate if you want to enter project fee information at all work breakdown structure (WBS) levels or only at the lowest WBS levels.
Labor Posting	Use this form to set up direct and indirect labor accounts associated with specific labor types, such as Employee, Management, and Principal. When an employee charges time to a regular or indirect project, the labor cost is charged automatically to the appropriate account. Use the Override Labor Accounts section to set up exceptions to these rules. See the Labor Types Settings Overview help topic for more information.
Absence Accruals	Use this form to identify the absence accruals (vacation, sick leave, and so on) that your enterprise tracks for its employees. For each absence accrual, you specify if you want to show the accrual balance on employee timesheets and if you want to set up an absence request approval process and, if so, the employee who is the approval administrator. You also set up a project of range of projects for each accrual. See the Accruals Processing Overview help topic for more information.
Overhead Allocation	Use this form to define how the costs accumulated in overhead projects (such as vacation pay, sick time, rent, utilities, office supplies, and administration) will be distributed to regular, revenue-producing projects. See the Overhead Allocation help topic for more information.
