Admin Setup - Fee Calculation Methods

Overview

This screen can be used to create and maintain the set of methods that will be available for use in your system.  The methods defined on this screen can be referenced in the Project Costing reports and may also be utilized within the Billing Post processing (for projects having a Billing Type of CP only) .

Including a fee in the Cost Reports definition provides for the ability to display total project revenue (with revenue being calculated as the sum of various costs + a fee).  Fees can be defined based on different approaches such as: Total Labor Cost + ODC Cost, or another method may just include Total Labor cost. The fee methods defined on this screen can be associated with specific projects on the Project Profile >> Accounting tab (along with the associated Fee Type, Fee Factor and any Fixed Fee Amount). It is also possible to calculate a Budget fee for comparison based on fields held on the Project Profile >> Budget tab.
