Burdened: Indicates whether to burden raw costs charged to projects using this project type for internal costing purposes.

Schedule: The burden schedule to use as the default cost burden schedule. You enter a schedule only if the project type is burdened. If the project type is burdened, this field is required.

Allow Schedule Override: Indicates whether you can override the default cost burden schedule when entering and maintaining projects and tasks. Deselect the check box if you want to ensure that all projects of a project type use the same schedule for internal costing. Check the box to allow updates to the cost burden schedule on the projects and tasks. You can enter this only if you enabled the Burdened check box.

Burdening Options: If you select the Burdened check box, additional fields are displayed:

Burden cost on same expenditure item: Select if you want to store burden amount in the same expenditure item.

Account for Burden Cost components: Select this option to store the burden amount in the same expenditure item, and additionally to show the burden cost on separate, summarized expenditures on a separate project. Select a project and (optional) task that accounts for the expenditure item.

Note: This option works best if used with indirect projects. With other project types, the system may post duplicate amounts.

Burden Cost as separate expenditure item: Select this option if you want to account for burden amounts as a separate expenditure item.

Enable Accounting for Total Burdened Cost: Select if you want to generate accounting for the total burdened cost.
