Preventing Expenses from Being Charged to Accounts and Business Units

Companies that conduct business with the U.S. federal government are able to charge some expenses to the government, but not others. The FAR Unallowable flag identifies whether a government contracting expense can be charged to a specific account, business unit, or job. You use the FAR Unallowable flag to differentiate between FAR allowable costs and unallowable costs, such as entertainment.

The Advanced Contract Billing Used constant must be selected in the Service Billing Constants program (P48091) for the FAR Unallowable check box or field to appear in these programs:

  • Account Master (P0901)

  • Account Master Search (P0901S)

  • Business Unit Master (P0006)

  • Job Cost Master (P51006)

  • Budget Original (P510121)

If the FAR Unallowable check box is selected for a business unit, the business unit and all of its accounts are considered unallowable at the transaction level. If the FAR Unallowable check box is not selected for a business unit and you want the transactions for an account to be unallowable, you must select the check box for the account.

The values for the FAR Unallowable check box and field are stored in the Business Unit Master (F0006) and Account Master (F0901) tables.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Contract Billing system checks the FAR Unallowable flag on the account, business unit, or job that is assigned to transactions when computing actual rate calculations. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting system checks the FAR Unallowable flag to determine whether to include transactions in the data selection when performing certain allocations.
