Overview
This section describes how Labor Distribution derives a G/L Account.
Key Concepts
• | There are two steps to obtaining G/L Accounts in Labor Distribution: 1) obtaining the Base Code, and then 2) obtaining the Organizational Unit. |
▪ | Direct Projects - The base code defaults to the supplied base codes when running the utility, but can be overridden by setting base accounts at the job title. Direct labor is further split between exempt and non-exempt employees and subcontractors. |
▪ | Indirect Projects---the base code defaults to the supplied base codes when running the utility, but can be overridden by settings at the job title. In turn, accounts can be set up at the project level to override the previous two locations. This allows for separation of indirect cost to various types, such as admin, vacation, or R&D. Like direct labor, indirect labor can be further split between exempt and non-exempt employees and subcontractors. |
▪ | The organization unit is the charge organization from the time sheets. |
▪ | This is usually the same as the employee home organization, but can be another organization in the case of cross-charging. The one exception is the markup credit account. This uses the home organization of the time sheets. |
