9. Entering Modifications
Modifications can have
incremental contract
values or funded
values:
1. Contract values or
Funded values can
be entered based on
Cost or Fees.
2. The values are
entered
incrementally and
the cumulative total
is displayed.
3. Values are entered at
the contract line
item level.
10. Modification Reporting
• The modifications are shown in a standard SAP ALV grid. The user can sort, summarize, group,
filter, choose columns to display and download to Excel.
• All modification data entry fields are available in this ALV grid.
• The change log history for each individual modification is available.
11. External Funding Sources
The External Funding Source tab is where customer supplied ACRNs are entered:
•The EFS Value is entered along with the priority.
•The billing process will distribute the invoice amounts against each EFS according to the
priority.
•A blank priority is a proportional distribution while a numeric priority is a specific
consumption sequence.
12. Alternate Billing Structure
The Alternate Billing Structure tab is used to define a billing structure independent of the
project accounting structure.
• Multiple project wbs elements from various project structures can be assigned to one
contract line item.
•The billing percentage can be defined so that one project wbs element can be billed against
multiple contract line items.
13. Retentions
The retentions tab is used to enter combinations of retained amounts that need to be
applied to an invoice but are not part of the modification entry process such as cost
withholds, fee withholds, and labor retentions.
14. Maintaining Rates: Flexible Pricing
T&M Labor Billing
Rates are
maintained
through Dassian’s
Flexible Pricing
Workbench.
The created rate
deck is then
assigned to the
contract in GCS.
These rates are
then applied
during Resource-
Related Billing.
All billing history is
maintained for
reporting.
15. Maintaining Rates: Overhead Rates
Overhead rates are
automatically
applied to the
contract based on
the value assigned
in the Contract
Setup
Overheads field.
This is the field
which assigns the
correct overhead
rate deck for billing
purposes.
16. Fees
There are 3 fee
methods:
• Percent of Cost
• Per Hour
• Fixed Amount
Each contract item
can have many
fees.
Each fee can be
created as a Fixed
Fee, Award Fee or
Incentive fee.

functionality is
available for all cost
plus and time and
material contracts.

to exclude from the
invoice.

• The billing hold report serves as a report of unbilled items as well as an application
used to place items on billing hold to exclude from the invoice.
• It is possible to place partial amounts or quantities on billing hold.
19. Inception-To-Date Billing
GCS CP & TM billing is

on priority.
