Defining a burden type (AC/BR/GM)

Use this procedure to define burden types. Burden types are required when you define burden rates. System-defined burden types are used to define burden rates that populate cost, billing, and revenue amounts in burden transactions. User-defined burden types are used to define burden rates that create burden transactions in a separate file. You can also use rates defined with user-defined burden types in Burden Rate Recalculation (AC198).
