Cost Summary Tab/Burden Summary Tab of the Budget Summary Dialog Box

Use this tab to enter or modify summary information for a cost budget. If your system administrator enabled reporting at burdened rates, this tab is the Burden Summary tab. Otherwise, it is the Cost Summary tab.

If the fees for the project are not synchronized from contract management information, you can enter or modify amounts in the compensation fields. These fields contain the same information as they do on the Budget & Revenue tab of the Projects hub. If you update these fields in one location, DPS updates them automatically in the other.
