Creating Overhead Codes

Create overhead codes for P6 Team Member Web users to add overhead activities to their timesheets to log timesheet hours that are not associated with the project.

To create an overhead code:

Click Administration.
On the Administration navigation bar, click Enterprise Data.
On the Enterprise Data page, expand Global and click Overhead Codes.
On the Overhead Codes page:
1. Click Add.
2. In the Name field, double-click and type a unique code.
3. In the Description field, double-click and type a unique name.
4. Click Save.

Tip

When you specify that two approval levels are required to approve timesheets, timesheets that contain only overhead activities bypass project manager approval and are sent directly to the resource/cost manager for approval. For timesheets containing a mix of regular and overhead activities, project managers can view, but not approve, the overhead activities.
