Understanding the Burdening Process
Burdening is the process of applying loaded costs to the direct costs of doing business. Applied burdens can include costs such as:
Fringe
Overhead
Materials and handling
General and administrative (G & A)
Using transactions in the General Ledger table (F0911), such as payroll records, vouchers, sales orders, and so on, the Create Burdening Transactions program (R52G11) takes the amounts, which are considered the raw costs, from these transactions, applies the burdening rates to them, and creates records in the Burdening Detail Ledger table (F52G11) and the Burdening Summarized Ledger table (F52G02). You can then use the advanced variable numerator allocations feature to create a burdening-based allocation. The programs for burden-based allocations base the source and basis amounts for allocations on data in the F52G02 table.
See Understanding Burdening-Based Allocations.
If you are using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Contract Billing system, the Workfile Generation program (R48120) adds applicable burdening transactions to the Billing Workfile table (F4812), using the records in the F52G11 table. The R48120 program adds the burdening transactions to the F4812 table so that you can include the burdening amounts in invoice processing and revenue recognition.
The Invoice Burden/Component Rules program (P52G86) within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Contract Billing system enables you to specify how the system prints burdening transactions on an invoice. For example, you can print burdening transactions after each base record, or in separate sections by burden category.
