Overhead Method Statuses

After creating an overhead method, you must change its status to Active to enable it to be used by the processes for generating, distributing, and invoicing overhead costs for a joint venture.

When you no longer need to use an overhead method to process overhead, you can change its status to Inactive. You can make certain updates to an overhead method in Active status, but the details you can change depend on whether it’s been used to process overhead. For more information about what you can and can't change in an active overhead method, see Manage the Life Cycle of Overhead Methods.
