Use this tab to enter information related to labor transactions. If the project is billed based on loaded labor rates, you need to enter the ID Type, and PLC. This information is required to determine the billing rate for the hours incurred.
Select the appropriate ID type for the labor transaction entered. Valid options are:
Vendor
Vendor Employee
Employee
None
If the ID Type selected was Employee, enter the appropriate ID number for the employee you want to use for this transaction. Costpoint uses the ID Type and Employee to determine the billing rate.
If the ID Type selected was Vendor, enter the appropriate vendor for this transaction. Costpoint uses the ID Type and Vendor to determine the billing rate.
If the ID Type selected was Vendor Employee, enter the appropriate vendor employee for this transaction. Costpoint uses the ID Type and Vendor Employee to determine the billing rate.
Enter the name you want identified with the labor transaction. Costpoint defaults in the employee, vendor, or vendor employee name if it is found in Costpoint. You can, however, add labor records for vendor, vendor employee, or employee IDs that are not set up in Costpoint.
If you have entered an Employee, enter the General Labor Category (GLC) you want identified with this labor transaction. The description for the GLC is displayed automatically and cannot be modified.
If you are entering labor for a T&M project, you must enter a PLC so that Costpoint can select the billing rate for the transaction. Costpoint defaults in the PLC description from the project. However, you can modify the description. If you do not sort your labor billing by project labor category, modifying the description does not modify the way the labor prints on the bill.
This field displays the effective bill date from the Manage Open Billing Detail screen.
Enter the billing rate that was used to bill this transaction. Costpoint multiplies this billing rate by the hours billed to determine the amount billed.
This editable field displays the rate before discount for this transaction. If you are not using PLC billing discounts, as selected in the Discount Method field on the Manage Project Billing Information screen or the Manage Revenue Information screen, this field is hidden.
Using the drop-down list, select a rate type for those billing rates that include labor rates in those formulas. Valid options are:
A — Actual. This rate type divides actual amount paid by actual hours (Actual Amount/Actual Hours) to obtain the rate. The A selection allows the application of multipliers to the rates.
B — Billing. This rate type uses the T&M project rate that does not include multipliers.
C — Ceiling. This rate calculates the A (Actual) rate, then compares it with the ceiling rate and uses the lesser of the two rates.
S — Standard. This rate is equal to the Rate Type per employee on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen. This rate reflects the standard rate without any auto adjusting on the timesheet. Multipliers are applied against the new standard rate type.
None
If you are entering employee labor, enter the timesheet date you want to use to identify when the labor charge took place.
This field displays the effective bill date from the Manage Open Billing Detail screen.
This field displays the billing currency used for this project.
This field displays the billing rate in this project's billing currency. Costpoint multiplies this billing rate by the hours billed to determine the amount billed in billing currency.
This editable field displays the rate before discount in the billing currency. If you are not using PLC billing discounts, as selected in the Discount Method field on the Manage Project Billing Information screen or the Manage Revenue Information screen, this field is hidden.
