Creating Escalation Indices

To create an escalation index record:

1. From the Joint Venture Management module (G09J), click Joint Venture Setup, and then Overhead Escalation Indices.

2. On the Revise Escalation Indices form, complete the Escalation Index field.

3. Enter a four-digit calendar year in the Calendar Year field.

4. Enter values in the January through December fields to specify the index values that the system uses to escalate the base amount from January through December.

5. To create an additional escalation index, click in the next blank line in the detail area of the form, and complete the steps listed above.

6. To add an attachment to the escalation index, select the row, and then select Attachment from the Row menu. Select the attachment, and then click OK to save the attachment.

7. After you finish creating an escalation index record, click OK to save your changes, and then click Cancel to exit the form.

   If you have calculated the overhead for a month, then the system will not allow you to update the escalation index for that specific month. Also, if the journal entry is not created, then you can delete the calculation record, and make changes to the index for that month.
