Field Description
Project This column displays the project number.
Charge Type

This column displays one of the following charge types for the project:

  • R — Regular: Regular projects are revenue-producing. Costs charged to regular projects include direct labor, direct expense, and reimbursable expense. Vision retains the detail for a regular project for the life of the project.

  • H — Overhead: Overhead projects are not revenue-producing. Costs charged to overhead projects include indirect labor and indirect expense. Vision distributes the total cost of these projects to regular projects during overhead allocation. Typical overhead projects can include General Overhead, Vacation, Sick Leave, Holiday, and Civic Duty. Vision resets job-to-date costs to zero for overhead projects when you initialize for a new fiscal year.

  • P — Promotional: Promotional projects track the cost to acquire a job. If you obtain the contract, you can create a new regular project and transfer the detail to it to be billed or tracked. A promotional project is similar to an overhead project. However, Vision does not zero out job-to-date costs at the start of each fiscal year for promotional projects.
