Overhead Allocation Report

The Overhead Allocation report shows the overhead allocated to all regular projects as of the last overhead allocation. The report includes overhead allocated either through proration or assignment.

Typically, you run the Overhead Allocation report for the most recent active period only. To run the report for another period, click the Period Ending option on the toolbar and then select an active period on the Period Selection dialog box.

The YTD Overhead column on this report should match the total indirect expenses on your Income Statement.

Organizations and Overhead Allocation

If you set theScope option to Organization on the Overhead Allocations Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Overhead Allocation, Vantagepoint sorts the report by organization, and prints the following information for each organization:

  • Rate, method, and basis used to allocate overhead
  • Organization overhead
  • Overhead variance (if you are using the assignment method)

If you set the Scope option to Organization on the Overhead Allocation Settings form and you also indicated that some organizations will distribute to operating organizations in Individual Organization Settings, Vantagepoint sorts the report by organization and the report contains these two sections:

Section Contents Distribute to Operating Organizations setting
Organization Distribution Summary This section includes the following for each non-operating organization that distributes its overhead to other organizations:
  • Pass on which overhead was distributed
  • Rate, method, and basis used to distribute overhead
  • Amount of overhead expenses distributed to specific operating organizations

The report only shows information in this section for organizations for which Distribute to Operating Organizations is selected on the Overhead tab of the Individual Organization Setup form on the Desktop Reporting application.

Organization Allocation Summary This section includes the following for each operating organization that receives distributed overhead from non-operating organizations and allocates it to revenue-producing projects:
  • Rate and base used to allocate overhead
  • Amount of overhead allocated to the organization's projects in the Current Period, Year-to-Date Overhead, and Project-to-Date Overhead.
The report only shows information in this section for organizations for which Distribute to Operating Organizations is not selected on the Overhead tab of the Individual Organization Setup form on the Desktop Reporting application.

Scope Option in Settings

This report is not available if you set the Scope option to None on the Overhead Allocation Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Overhead Allocation.

Multiple Companies

If you use multiple companies, this report only shows overhead allocation data for the active company.
