If you are new to Vision, you may find it helpful to review the setup process before you configure Labor Cross Charges.

For assistance, contact Vision Consulting Services.

Configuration Steps

Step Description
1 Decide which approach to use. You may want to review the background materials in the Concepts section of the help before you make this decision.
2 Decide on an internal transfer price.
3 Set up Labor Cross Charge globally for each approach that you use:
  • Enable Labor Cross Charge.
  • Enable Create Labor Adjustment, Create Journal Entry, or both.
  • Set up new General Ledger accounts for journal entries, if applicable.
  • Populate account number fields with General Ledger account numbers.
  • Populate internal transfer price fields, if applicable.
4 Continue configuration at the organization level, in Individual Organization Setup (Configuration > Organization > Individual).

In Individual Organization Configuration, you can:

  • Reference special projects/phases/tasks with each organization.
  • For each organization, populate the project fields with the new projects/phases/tasks.
  • Override the global transfer price settings at the organization level (optional).
