In this step of configuring cost calculations for your company, you should create two types of account sets:
- Sets of accounts to be excluded from certain types of overhead calculations
- Sets of accounts to be included in payroll burden overhead calculations (US and Canadian region)
Example
Requirements
Standard settings
Just as different regions apply different types of rules to calculate various types of overhead costs, so different exclusion sets are appropriate for the different regions. Depending on your company's region and the structure of its chart of accounts, you may need to create exclusion sets of accounts for the following types of overheads:
Region Type of Rule Type of Overhead
International Stepped Rate Rules Parent Company Overhead
US Stepped Rate Rules Construction (MCO)
Catastrophe
Percent1 Percentage Producing
Percent2 Percentage Development
Canadian Stepped Rate Rules Capital
Construction
Drilling
Percent1 Regular Operations
and Maintenance
Percent2 Special Operations
and Maintenance
For Canadian and US region companies, the inclusion sets used to include accounts in payroll burden cost calculations are specified on the JOA Cost Calculations screen after they are defined here in JVA configuration.
Recommendation
For all three regions, exclusion sets can be specified at the company level via the Company Detailed Data screen and on the JOA on the Cost Calculations screen. Even more specific exclusion sets can be applied to individual WBS elements on the JOA project parameters screen, which is accessed from the JOA Cost Calculations screen.
Care should be taken to define the account exclusion sets so that they are appropriate to the level at which they will be specified. The broadest range of accounts should be defined for the company level to cover as many cases as possible, thus minimizing the need for defining additional sets for use at the JOA level.
Sets with narrower ranges of accounts can be defined for assignment at the JOA level. These sets too should be designed to address the exclusion needs as fully as possible to minimize the need for defining additional sets for assignment to individual WBS elements.
Finally, only if necessary, sets with the narrowest range of accounts should be created for assignment to individual WBS elements.
Activities
You can create sets of accounts to be excluded from certain types of overhead calculations or included in payroll burden overhead calculations (US and Canadian region). On the selection screen, you should enter the code for the new set in the Set ID field. The account sets defined for JVA must be basic or single dimensional, and they must be assigned to dimension RACCT and table JVTO1.
On the Create Set: Header screen, enter a Description for the account set and select Basic Entries.
On the Create Set: Basic Entries screen, enter the first account in the series of accounts to be excluded from calculation of costs for a particular overhead type in the From field and the last account in the series in the To field.
Alternatively, you can enter individual accounts in successive From fields.
