Set Up Overhead Allocation Accounts

You define the account numbers that contain additional expenses that you may want to include in the overhead allocation base (the denominator part of the overhead calculation). This is typically associated with the Proration method.

For example, if you want to include temporary contract labor or CADD expense, in addition to labor in the allocation base, you would add the general ledger accounts for these types of expenses on this company. In this example, the labor expense is included in the base, which you specify with the Basis option. Typically, you would do this if your company contracts out a significant amount of work.

To set up overhead allocation accounts:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Settings > Accounting > Overhead Allocation.
  2. On the Overhead Allocation settings from, below the Additional Accounts to Include in Overhead Allocation Base Calculations grid, click +Add Account.
  3. In the blank account row that displays in the grid, click and use the Account lookup to select an account to include in the overhead allocation base.
  4. To add additional accounts, repeat steps 2 and 3.
  5. Click Save.
