Set Up Override Labor Accounts

Use the Override Labor Accounts grid to enter accounts that are used for labor transactions for a specific project or range of projects rather than using accounts associated with labor posting types. You can use override labor accounts to define separate labor accounts to be used for vacation or sick or professional development or marketing.

To set up override labor accounts:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Settings > Accounting > Labor Posting.
  2. On the Labor Posting form, click +Add Override Account to add an override account.
  3. In the Labor Account field, enter an account or click and select an account on the Account lookup.
    If you enter a direct or reimbursable account, the projects that you associate with the account must all be regular projects. If you enter an indirect account, the projects must all be overhead or promotional projects.
  4. If the labor override account is also associated with a time analysis column, select that column in Time Analysis Report Column.
    This column heading will appear on the Time Analysis report.
  5. In Start Project Range and End Project Range, specify the range of regular, overhead, or promotional project numbers with data to be included in this override labor account.
    If you want to specify only one project, enter that project number in both fields. You cannot overlap ranges if you also specify a time analysis report column.
  6. Click Save.
