Use the fields and options to view a summary of hours, cost amount, and billing extension information.

Field Description
Hours Project, phase, and task hours are displayed in total and broken out by billing status.
  • Bill — The total hours for this project/phase/task's current labor transactions to be billed.
  • Hold — The total hours for this project/phase/task's current, held, labor transactions.
  • Write-off — The total hours for this project/phase/task's current labor transactions to be written off.
  • Delete — The total hours for this project/phase/task's current labor transactions to be deleted.
  • Totals — The total unbilled hours for this project/phase/task, of any status.
Cost Amount Project/phase/task cost amounts are displayed in total and broken out by billing status.

DPS determines the cost amount for each type of labor transaction by multiplying the employee's job cost rate by the amount in the Hours field on the Labor grid. The employee's job cost rate is established in the Employees hub.

The Labor Cost Rates/Amounts option on the Accounting tab of Security Roles Configuration determines your access to labor cost rates and amounts.

  • Bill — The total cost for this project/phase/task's current labor transactions to be billed.
  • Hold — The total cost for this project/phase/task's current, held, labor transactions.
  • Write-off — The total cost for this project/phase/task's current labor transactions to be written off.
  • Delete — The total cost amount of all current labor transactions marked never to be billed for this project. When you mark a transaction to be deleted, no accounting entries are made.
  • Totals — The combined values in the Cost Amount fields for all labor transactions for this project, of any status.
Billing Extension Project/phase/task billing extensions are displayed in total and broken out by billing status. (Billing extension examples: Employee’s job cost rate x the number of hours x any multipliers applied to the project; or the employee's labor rate assigned in a labor rate table x the number of hours x any multipliers.)

DPS determines each type of labor transaction's extension by multiplying the hours times the amount in the Rate field on the Labor grid. The rate is determined using the labor billing terms defined for this project.

  • Bill — The total amount of all extensions for this project/phase/task's current labor transactions to be billed.
  • Hold — The total amount of all extensions for this project/phase/task's current, held, labor transactions.
  • Write-off — The total amount of all extensions for this project/phase/task's current labor transactions marked to be written-off.
  • Delete — The total amount of all extensions for this project/phase/task's current labor transactions marked as deleted.
  • Totals — The combined value of all the unbilled hours in the Billing Extension fields for all current, labor transactions for this project/phase/task, of any status.
