Job Costing - Overhead

Overview

The system provides the ability to calculate and apply overhead costs during the posting of cost transactions from any system that affects job cost.

Overhead calculations are assigned to cost codes (phases) and categories, and may be individualized on a job-by-job basis. The overhead costs can be identified as a rate against the cost amount of the transaction or as a markup based on a dollar amount per unit.

NOTE: The overhead category must exist within the cost code in which the overhead is to be calculated. If the overhead category does not exist for the cost code, overhead will not calculate.
