What happens if I recalculate burden costs?

The outcome of the Recalculate Burden Costs process depends on whether your project uses same line or separate line burdening. Recalculation uses the latest burden schedule.

In case of same line burdening, the adjusted expenditure item creates two distribution lines.

• A reversed cost distribution line for the original burden schedule.

• A new cost distribution line for the updated burden schedule.

In case of separate line burdening, after the Recalculate Burden Costs process finishes, run the Generate Burden Costs process to regenerate the burden costs. Any transactions that are being processed for the first time aren't included because the burden on the expenditure item was already reserved when you imported the cost.

If the transactions are eligible for budgetary control, then the latest cost distribution lines for these transactions are used.
