Concept

Description

Where does it come from?

Markup

The percentage to mark up the cost rate to reflect associated costs.

  • For labor, the markup costs include direct personnel expense (DPE), overhead, profit, General & Administrative (G&A), and other labor.
  • For expenses, the markup costs include G&A, profit, and other expenses.
  • For consultants, the markup costs include G&A, profit, and other consultant costs.

You select the markup types in Company > Preferences.

You enter percents for those markup types in a billing rate table in Setup > Billing Rate Tables.

Standard billing rate

Also called flat rate. A set rate, with no markups, is used to bill the client for services performed or goods delivered.

You enter standard billing rates into the exceptions table of a billing rate table in Setup > Billing Rate Tables or in Setup > Activities for unit-based expenses (for example, mileage or copies).

Pass-through cost

No labor, expense, or consultant markups are applied. Only the cost rate is billed.

You create a pass-through cost by selecting the Pass Through check box in the exceptions table of a billing rate table in Setup > Billing Rate Tables.
