Summary Section Utilities>Invoice Design

Top  Previous  Next

Overview

Summary sections are used as subtotaling areas. They are single-record datasets that contain billing-to-date information, contractual amounts, and running totals.

 


 

Key Concepts

Invoice Designs can have multiple summary sections.
Summary sections are typically used to aggregate previous sections together. For instance, a total professional services plus reimbursable expense invoice line item would be an example of a summary section.
Summary sections can be used with labor upsets. Sometimes it is preferable to perform an upset in a Summary section rather than in the Labor section. An example is when multiple labor schedules are used. When a cap is used in the Summary section, it overrides the current posting figures.

 

Field Descriptions

oLabor - The options are Bill Amount (When "Use Bill Rates" flag is checked),  Direct Labor, Direct Labor + DPE + Overhead, and Direct Labor + DPE + Overhead + Profit (When "Use Bill Rates" flag is unchecked).   You can cap the cost or the billable value.
oODC - This is where the expense cap is enforced. The options are Direct Expense and Markup.  You can cap the cost or the billable value.

Recalculate Amounts using Project Multipliers

DPE / OH - If a DPE/OH Multiplier is on the Project Rate Schedule Setup>Multipliers Section, the transaction cost will be multiplied with that to determine effort. More on Project Setup
Profit - If a DPE/OH Multiplier is on the Project Rate Schedule Setup>Multipliers Section, the transaction cost will be multiplied with that to determine effort.
ODC Markup - If an Overriding multiplier is on the Project Setup>Expense Markups / Codes, the transaction cost will be multiplied with that to determine effort. More on Project Setup
OCC Markup -  If an Overriding multiplier is on the Project Setup>Expense Markups / Codes, the transaction cost will be multiplied with that to determine effort.

Note - Used for resolving Rounding Issues when multipliers are being applied at the project level.
