Example of Loading Person Costing at Assignment Level

As Vision Corp encourages employees to work across multiple projects, employee's costs should be allocated in the same way.

In this example, you allocate costing at the assignment level for a person who divides the time worked between two managers at different cost centers. Further, you override costing for a specific element at the assignment level.

Lynda Jones writes advertisements for the Advertising division. For the next few months, she will spend 40 percent of his time in designing customer preference surveys for the Market Research division. Now, you split Lynda's cost between Advertising and Market Research divisions, which belong to different cost centers.

Assign these percentages to the two departments:

Percent	Department
40	3180 (Market Research)
60	3190 (Advertising)

The assignment number of Lynda is 12345.
