Header

Exclude from Revenue Recognition and Profit Sharing check-box - When checked, the project will be ignored in Profit Sharing adjustments.

Sharing Org. Units Tab

Project Management Type

Project Management Type drop-down - Profit Center Sharing Levels are established for the four PM types (Labor, ODC, OCC, and ICC).

WBS Level

WBS Level drop-down (selected with a PM Type) - These levels not only dictate the part of the WBS to which org members can charge, but also represent where organizations can establish intra-profit center caps and rules for revenue recognition.

Projects Grid

Path - Path of current project at the level of the selected WBS.
Name -  Name of current project at the level of the selected WBS.
Overall Cap - Overall caps can be entered here. When the overall cap is non-zero, over-runs/under-runs are absorbed by the primary Sharing Profit Center.

Org Units Grid

Share - When checked, this organization can share in the project.
Path - Path of Organizational Unit.
Name -  Name of Organizational Unit.
Is Primary - When checked, this is the primary org unit for this WBS node. Only one org unit can be the primary. The primary absorbs any overruns/under-runs for the level when a cap is present in the projects grid.
Cross Charge - When checked, this org unit receives cross-charging for any org units not listed as a share. Only one org unit can be specified for cross-charging. Setting a cross-charge org unit opens up this WBS node and its children to all org units.
Cap - Cap (if any) to be used in revenue calculations for this org unit.
PC - Percent complete (if any) to be used for revenue calculations for an org unit.
Revenue Method - Revenue recognition methods. There are various calculations based on time and material, caps, and percentage completions using various valuation rates. Below is a list of the Methods that can be selected.

 

Owning Org. Units Tab

Description: The Owning Org. Unit tab in Revenue Recognition is an optional feature.  It can run a Revenue Recognition method and the Owner would get/lose revenue based on what the owner method specifies less all revenues earned by the sharing org units.  So basically the idea is you could have a Fixed Fee job where the overall earned is based on percent complete, meanwhile the sharing Orgs earn at a T & M basis.
