Defining Burden Schedules
To define a burden schedule:
1. In the Burden Schedules window, enter the name and description of the burden schedule you are defining.
Enter the default burden structure for this schedule, which is automatically used whenever you create a new revision. You can see the structure of a particular revision when you review revision details. You can change the default structure of the schedule at any time. Oracle Projects uses the new default structure for any new revisions that you create. You can update the default structure to create revisions that use a different burden structure for a given burden schedule.
2. Choose the Type of schedule, either Firm or Provisional.
3. In the Versions region, define revisions. You may have many different revisions of a particular schedule; for example, you may have a schedule revision for each quarter in your fiscal year. You also create schedule revisions when you want to use a new burden structure, enter new burden multipliers, or apply actual rates to provisional multipliers.
The start and end dates for revisions in a provisional schedule must match GL periods. For firm schedules, Oracle Projects provides you with the flexibility to use any date as the start or end date.
Whenever you create a new schedule revision, Oracle Projects automatically closes the previous open revision. The end date defaults to the date preceding the start date of the new revision.
Enable the Hold checkbox if you want to hold this schedule revision from compiling.
Choose the Details button to review the details of a particular revision.
Choose Actual if you want to apply actual multipliers to provisional revisions. See: Applying Actuals.
4. In the Multipliers region, enter multipliers for a schedule revision. You also use this region to compile burden multipliers.
Choose Copy to copy multipliers from one schedule revision to a new revision. See: Copying Multipliers.
6. After you have completed entry of all multipliers, choose Compile to compile new multipliers. When you compile a schedule, Oracle Projects automatically submits the Compile Rate Schedule Revision process. You can also use the Compile All Burden Schedule Revisions process to compile multiple schedules at one time.
