Overhead in monitoring

On the Overhead tab in the Project Parameters (tppdm0500m000) session, the Include in Monitoring check box has been introduced. This check box determines whether the actual overhead cost must be included when calculating project totals for monitoring. Overhead costs are included on these levels:

• Project
• Cost Type
• Cost Component
• Element
• Activity
• Element/Cost Type
• Activity/Cost Type

These constraints are applicable:

• If there are many overhead transactions, the Build Actual Cost Control (tpppc4803m000) session can take a long time.
• No overhead cost object-specific levels are available.
• Because overhead amounts are also used in various calculations, such as Percentage of Completion, we recommend not to clear the Include Overhead check box in the Build Actual Cost Control (tpppc4803m000) session if the Include in Monitoring check box is selected.
