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

In Oracle Project Management, assign an expenditure type to a burden cost code when you want the burden cost processed as a separate, summarized burden transaction.

Burden cost codes are assigned to cost bases. The expenditure type that you assign to a burden cost code must:

• Be classified as a burden transaction.

• Belong to the reference data set for the project unit.

If you want to process the burden cost on the same line expenditure item instead, don't assign an expenditure type to the burden cost code.
