Recalculate Burden Costs

When you perform certain actions on a project that's enabled for burdening, you need to recalculate the existing burden costs.

Let's say that you change the multiplier on an organization's burden schedule version. All of the existing transactions that are associated with that organization need to be recalculated.

The conditions that require burden cost recalculation are:

  • You updated a previously built burden schedule.

  • You built an actual burden schedule version to replace a provisional burden schedule version.

  • You modified the version dates such that the transactions for which burden is calculated using existing version no longer fall within the new version dates.

  • You have previous unprocessed adjustments on transactions.

  • An error occurs during the process.

Recalculate the costs for a burden schedule version.

  1. In the Costs work area, click the Manage Burden Schedule task.

  2. On the Manage Burden Schedules page, select the burden schedule.

  3. Click the Recalculate Burden Costs button. The Recalculate Burden Costs process initiates the Import Costs process to create expenditure items and cost distribution lines for the eligible transaction. In case of separate line burdening, you must also run the Generate Burden Costs process after recalculating the burden costs.

  4. Review the Recalculate Burden Cost output report and the Import Costs output report. If any transactions were excluded from the recalculation, fix the conditions and recalculate again.
