Indirect cost component, on the Project FastTab |
Select this check box to set up a project category for indirect costs. An indirect cost is not directly attributable to the production of an item or the performance of a service for the project. When you assign the category to a project, the expenses associated with the category are allocated as indirect costs to the project. Note If you set up the category for indirect costs, you cannot associate the category with direct costs on projects. |
Customer payment retention, on the Project FastTab |
Select this check box to set up a project category to add customer payment retention terms to a project. Your system administrator must create a customer payment retention category, and the category must be assigned a Fee transaction type. Note The Customer payment retention check box is displayed only if you select a customer retention category in the category list. |
