System-defined classes of projects require separate treatment due to the varying requirements of each classification. Separate treatment may include using special processes to cost labor or materials, or may simply mean that each of the classifications can be sorted separately for reporting purposes.

BID & PROPOSAL
COMMON INV
DIRECT PROJECT
INDIRECT
INTER-CO MULTI
INTER-COMPANY
IR&D
WORK IN PROCESS
The Project Status Report and the Revenue Summary Report can be sorted by project classification.

When this check box is not selected, no charging is allowed regardless of the status of the project/account/org combinations.
This field displays whether the project uses the top level of the project for work force validation. If the check box is selected, it uses the top level.
This selection is available only for the top level of the project tree.

This field displays the project's billing formula used to calculate the bill for the project.
