Project Surcharges (tipcs3120m000)

Use this session to list project surcharges.

Note: If you have started the session by zooming, you can only find and select a record. If the project is of the Budget type, it is not possible to enter actual surcharges. If no project is filled, general surcharges for all projects, without their own surcharges are defined.

In the detail session you can maintain standard cost surcharges by project, and by surcharge type, for performing a project calculation. These surcharges - which can be recorded for the estimated and actual project calculation - are applied to the total estimated or actual costs for a project. They form the basis for extra costs or discounts (in percentage of amounts) in the project's standard cost structure.

Field Information

Project

project

Standard Cost Surcharge Type

The type of standard cost surcharge indicates whether there is an estimated or actual surcharge on the standard cost for the project.

Sequence Number

Each time you enter a new project surcharge, the detail session will be activated. The sequence field in this detail session will automatically be filled with 10 or a multiple thereof. You can always overwrite this value. Once you have completed executing the detail session, the sequence number will be filled in the overview session.

Variable Cost

Specifies whether the project surcharges are variable or fixed.

If this check box is selected, the surcharge is considered a variable cost. Otherwise, it is considered a fixed cost.

Note: Fixed costs are only included in the standard cost of a project if the Include Fixed Costs in Project Valuation parameter is selected.

Calculation Line Type

Indicates how the calculation line in the computation of the project surcharge is taken into account.

Currency

The currency in which the amount is expressed.

Currency

The description of the currency.

Surcharge Bases Present

If this check box is selected, a surcharge base is present. A set of cost components that applies to the project surcharge is then defined.

Note: A surcharge base can only be present if the value of the Surcharge Method field is set to % of Selective Costs.

Surcharge Amount

The project surcharge expressed as an amount.

If you chose:

Surcharge in the Calculation Line Type field
Fixed Amount in the Surcharge Method field

You can enter a standard cost surcharge in the surcharge amount field.

Surcharge Percentage

The project surcharge expressed as a percentage.

Surcharge Method

The method of computing the project surcharge.

Surcharge Component

The cost component to which the project surcharge is linked. Select the desired cost component, under which the computed standard cost surcharge must be stored when calculating. Only cost components with the cost type Surcharge, Obsolete, or General Costs are allowed.

Project Status

The current stage of the project.
