How Vantagepoint Determines Override Rates
When an employee's labor rate comes from a labor override table, the way that Vantagepoint determines the rate to use depends on the project's labor method.

Rate Times Multiplier |
Vantagepoint first looks at the General
Employee Override tab of the override table and finds the override rate specified for the
employee there.
Vantagepoint calculates the rate depending on which rate type is selected, as follows:
|
Rate Table |
Vantagepoint uses the rate specified in the override table for all
employees that appear in the table.
Vantagepoint also applies any non-zero multiplier to this rate, no matter what the override rate type is.
If you selected Enable effective dates for labor billing rates on the Miscellaneous tab of Billing Setup, Vantagepoint also compares the dates of posted labor transactions being billed with effective dates in the specified override rate table. Vantagepoint uses the appropriate rate based on the effective date. |
By Category |
Vantagepoint uses the rate specified in the override table for all
employees that appear in the table.
Vantagepoint also applies any non-zero multiplier to this rate, no matter what the override rate type is.
If a labor override table exists for the project, and the employee displays in the table with a rate of 0 (zero), Vantagepoint overrides the employee's category with the override category specified in the override table. Vantagepoint then locates the category's entry in the project's Billing Labor Category table to determine the rate. If you specify both a rate and a category, Vantagepoint overrides both the rate specified in the category table and the category referenced in the override table. Vantagepoint also applies any non-zero multipliers to this rate, regardless of the rate type. If you selected Enable effective dates for labor billing rates on the Miscellaneous tab of Billing Setup, Vantagepoint also compares the dates of posted labor transactions being billed with effective dates in the specified labor override table. Vantagepoint uses the appropriate rate based on the effective date. |
