Costing Information
Burden Schedules
You must specify a cost burden schedule if you specify that a project type is burdened. The costing burden schedule defaults from the project type.

To enter Costing Burden Schedules, you must select and expand Burden Multipliers from the list of options in the Projects, Templates window.
- You can enter the following information in the Costing Burden Schedules window:
- Burden Schedule: Enter the burden schedule you want to use for this project or task.
- Burden Hierarchy: Enter the burden hierarchy you want to default to each burden schedule version.
- Fixed Date: Enter a fixed date for the burden schedule if you want all expenditure items to be burdened with the multipliers in effect as of that date.
