  • C: Company journal entry override

Charge Type

This column displays the charge type of the project being charged for the labor or expense.

  • R: Regular projects are projects that produce revenue. Costs charged to regular projects include direct labor, direct expense, and reimbursable expense. DPS retains detail for the life of the project.
  • H: Overhead projects do not produce revenue. Costs charged to overhead projects include indirect labor and indirect expense. The total cost of these projects is distributed to regular projects during overhead allocation. Typical overhead projects can include General Overhead, Vacation, Sick Leave, Holiday, or Civic Duty. When you initialize for a new fiscal year, DPS resets costs for overhead projects to zero.
  • P: Promotional projects track the cost of trying to acquire a job. If you obtain the contract, you can create a new regular project and transfer the detail to it to be billed or tracked. A promotional project is the same as an overhead project, with the following exception. DPS does not reset job-to-date costs to zero at the start of each fiscal year for promotional projects.

  • Intercompany Billing tab of the Projects hub
