When do I assign an expenditure type to a burden cost code?

Burden cost codes are assigned to cost bases. When you assign an expenditure type to a burden cost code, burden cost is processed as a separate, summarized burden transaction.

The expenditure type assigned to a burden cost code must be classified as a burden transaction and belong to the reference data set for the project unit.

Note: To process burden cost on the same line expenditure item, you don't need to assign an expenditure type to a burden cost code.
