AC60.1 - Burden and Fee Codes

**Form Purpose
Use Burden and Fee Codes (AC60.1) to define and maintain burden codes. A
burden code can be used an additional cost that are assigned to transactions
in percentages to more accurately determine business costs.

Before you define burdens, you should analyze the post to account categories
where you want to send general and administration (G&A) expenses and
overhead costs.

**Process at a Glance

1. Define burden codes on this form

2. Assign burden codes to an activity structure on Account Category Burden
Assignment (AC61.1)

3. Identify where burdens are used on Pool Driver Values (AC62.1)

4. Identify provisional burden rates on Burden Provisional Rates (AC63.1).

**More Information
You can associate burdens with multiple transaction types in the Driver Type
field. You can select from Company and Work Accounting Unit, Company and Home
Accounting Unit, Activity Company Accounting Unit, Activity, Account Category,
Job Code, Salary Class, or Employee.

Burden codes are identified by defining rules. These rules include step, post
to account category, and driver.

AC60.2 - Additional Information

**Form Purpose
Use Additional Information (AC60.2) to create off-set burden transactions in
Project and Activity Accounting or General Ledger.

Burden transactions are transactions that are automatically created during
Activity Posting (AC190) if the source transaction meets all of the parameters
defined through the burden code and pool driver values. Burden transactions
are posted to the activity contained in the source transaction, and to the
account category specified in the burden code.

**More Information
You can create offset entries for burden transactions. This lets you charge
one activity/account category with burden costs, and "balance" the burden
transaction by creating an offset transaction that posts to another activity
and account category.

If you post burdens to General Ledger, you must define GL information to
identify the company, accounting unit, account and subaccount to which you
want to post the burden transactions. In addition, you must define GL offset
information so the burden transactions are in balance when they post to
General Ledger.
