Set Up Reporting for Labor Options

Use the Reporting settings to enable reporting at billing rates, burdened rates, billing rates, or billing currency. You can also enable employee realization reporting and specify related settings

To set up reporting options for labor:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Settings > Accounting > Labor Options.
  2. To generate project reports based on billing and cost rates, elect Yes for Enable Reporting at Billing Rates.
    Vantagepoint includes both billing and cost as options in the Report At field in project reporting.
  3. To run project reports at burdened amounts, select Yes for Enable Reporting at Burdened Rates.
    This effectively combines labor and overhead on a single detail line. When you combine labor and overhead, the overhead for each detail line is estimated using the same calculation that is used when reporting at cost and overhead allocation needs to be run.
  4. To track realization amounts for employees, select Yes for Enable Reporting Realization by Employee.
    You must enter a calculation method, frequency, and allocation accounts in the remaining fields. If you change from Yes to No and realization amounts have already been allocated to employees, previously calculated realization amounts are not removed from records.
  5. If you use multiple currencies, select Yes for Use Billing Currency not Project Currency to use the billing currency for project reporting.
    The billing currency is the currency in which you generate invoices and billing reports for a project and its phases and tasks.
  6. If you want reports to use billing amounts, select Yes for Use Reporting Default Terms for All Projects.
    Vantagepoint uses the billing terms and multiplier information specified in Settings > Billing > Reporting Default Terms.
  7. Click Save.
