Overhead Application Bases (tppdm2100m000)

	Overhead Application Bases (tppdm2100m000) Use this session to create and maintain overhead application bases. Related topics Overhead costs overview Defining the Overheads cost type To calculate and apply overheads Overhead application bases set-up Base The code that uniquely identifies the overhead application base. Description The description or name of the code. Version The version number that LN generates based on the unique base-code. This is a display field. Note The first version of an overhead application base takes the default value of 0001. If another version is created for the overhead application base with the same base-code and same validity period, the second version takes the value 0002 (value of first version +1). Level The level at which the overheads must be calculated. Note The field Level is enabled and mandatory only if the field Base Type is set to Amount. If the field Base Type is set to Direct Labor Hours, the value is always 1. The overheads over overheads can be calculated only if the value in the field Level is 2 or more. The Level (allowable values 1 to 9) determines the sequence in which overhead is calculated. Overhead of base with level 1 (the tab Assignments Cost Base contains only direct costs) is calculated first. After calculating the overhead of base with level 1, the overhead over overhead is calculated (Level 2 and up ). Base Type The base type on which the overhead is calculated. The base type can be changed only if the base status is Draft. Allowed values Base Type. Overhead Percentage The overhead cost expressed as a percentage. The value in this field can be changed only if the base status is Draft. Note Overhead percentage is mandatory when Base Type is set to Amount. Overhead Rate The overhead amount per unit direct labor hour. Note The Overhead Rate field is enabled only if the Base Type is set to Direct Labor Hours. Currency The currency used to express the overhead rate. Status The status of the overhead application base. Allowed values Base Status. Valid From The start date when the overhead application base is effective. Note LN calculates overheads only if the transaction date is within the validity period of the overhead application base. Up to and Including The end date until which the overhead application base is effectiive. Note You can change the date only when the base status is set to Draft. LN calculates overheads only if the transaction date is within the validity period of the overhead application base. Target Cost Object The code that identifies the cost object on which the overhead is calculated. Note The target cost object must be of cost type overhead. Description The description or name of the code. Effective Displays the overhead application bases with the status Active. Ineffective Displays the overhead application bases with the status Draft. Closed Displays the overhead application bases that are closed. All Displays all the overhead application bases.
