Understanding Burdening Rates

Burdening rates are used to calculate burdening transactions and are stored in the Burden Rates table (F48S85). You define burdening rates by segment, effective date, burden category, burden rate type, and pool ID.

When you run the Workfile Generation program (R48120) or the G/L Transaction Selection program (P48124), the system retrieves burden rates from the Burden Rates table (F84S85) for each burden rate type that matches the effective date, burden category, and pool ID of the base transactions in the Billing Detail Workfile table (F4812).
