Setting Up Burden Base Rules

Access the Burden Base Rules form.

Business Unit

Enter a job number from the F0006 table to associate a burden computation method with a specific job. If you enter a job number, you cannot enter a contract number or job type on the same line.

Contract Number

Enter a contract number to associate a burden computation method with a specific contract. The system completes the Contract Type and Contract Company fields when you enter a contract number. The combination of contract number, contract type, and contract company must be defined in the Contract Master table (F5201). If you enter a contract number, you cannot enter a job number or job type on the same line.

Contract Type and Company

The system displays the document type and company that correspond to the contract number.

Job Type

Enter a job type from UDC 00/MC to associate a burden computation method with a specific job type. If you enter a job type, you cannot enter a job number or contract number on the same line.

Obj From (object from) and Obj Thru (object through)

Specify a range of object accounts with which to associate a burden computation method. Leave these fields blank to apply the base rule to all accounts.

Sub From (subsidiary from) and Sub Thru (subsidiary through)

Specify a range of subsidiary accounts with which to associate a burden computation method. Leave these fields blank to apply the base rule to all subsidiaries.

Note: The account range specified for a base rule must not overlap the account range entered for another record that has the same segment ID, effective date, burden category, business unit, contract number, or job type value unless the subsidiary account ranges are different.
Burden Comp Meth (burden computation method)

Specify the burden computation method to associate with the information that you specified on the line. This field is required.

Note: To create a default base rule, leave the Business Unit, Contract Number, and Job Type fields blank.
