Contents of the Revenue Groups Form

Use these fields and options to set up a revenue group.

Fields

Field Description
Main Project To enter a new revenue group, click + New Revenue Group on the actions bar to enable this field. Then use the Project drop-down list to select the project by which to identify the new revenue group. The list includes only those projects with a regular charge type. It excludes projects that belong to another revenue group and projects that have the Calculation option selected for the Overall Revenue setting on the Accounting tab of the Projects form in the Projects hub.

The main project is also treated as a subproject, so it displays in the Sub Project grid on this form. You cannot delete it from the grid.

Because the adjustment phase or task for a revenue group is usually from the main project, the main project also prefills in the To Adjust section on this form.

Revenue Method field or Revenue Categories section Either a Revenue Method field or a Revenue Categories section that has fields for the revenue method for each revenue category displays, based on whether or not you selected the Enable Tracking for This Many Revenue Categories check box in .

Use the lookups to select the revenue method to use to calculate revenue for the overall revenue group (contract) when you run revenue generation.

Multiplier or Amount If you want to apply a multiplier, percentage, or amount to the revenue method that you entered in the Revenue Method field (or fields for revenue categories if you use revenue categories), enter it here. It increases or decreases revenue that is calculated for the contract (overall revenue group) when you run revenue generation. For example, if you want to increase the revenue calculation by 15%, enter 1.15 in this field.

Project to receive adjustment entry

In this section, you determine the adjustment phase or task to which to post any difference between the sum of the revenue that is calculated for each subproject and the revenue that is calculated for the overall revenue group (contract) when you run revenue generation. The adjustment is made at the lowest WBS level that you have.

Field Description

The Project lookup includes:
