2. Objectives
– Explain the terminology used in burden costing
– Define burden-related setup
– Process burden costs and related accounting
3. Agenda
– Overview of Burdening
– Implement Burdening
– Accounting for Cost Adjustments Resulting from Burden
Schedule Revisions
– Concurrent Programs
4. Overview of Burdening
Raw Cost + Burden Cost = Total Burdened Cost
Raw Cost x Burden Multiplier = Burden Cost
Quantity x Cost Rate = Raw Cost
5. Costing Terminology
Raw Cost + Burden Cost = Burdened Cost
Direct Cost + Indirect Cost = Total Cost
or
Raw Cost = Direct Cost Burden Cost = Indirect Cost
Burdened Cost = Total Cost
7. Burden Cost Limit
Airfare = $200
Allowed Cost
Schedule
Limit = $100
Indirect Cost Rate
Schedule
Multiplier = .10
Amount Billed = $210
Example of the burden cost limit

10. Project Types and Burdening
Project Type, Costing Tab:
– Whether to burden?
– Default burden schedule
– Allow schedule overrides?
– How to store burden costs?
– Total burdened cost
accounting?
Each project is assigned
a project type.

12. Burden Costing Implementation Steps
Steps for Implementing Burden Costing Required or Optional
Define cost bases and cost base types Required
Define burden cost codes Required
Define burden structures Required
Set the profile option PA: Default Burden
Schedule Type (must be set to NO)
Required
Define burden schedules Required
Implement burden costing extension Optional
Set the profile option PA: Create Incremental
Transactions for Cost Adjustments Resulting
from a Burden Schedule Recompilation
Required
Burden Costing Implementation Steps
13. Cost Bases and Cost Base Types
Cost Base: Labor
Cost Base Type: Burden Cost
For example, you can use the cost base Labor to
group labor costs on a burden structure.
14. Burden Cost Codes
Cost Code: Fringe
Expenditure Type: Fringe Benefits
For example, a cost code of Fringe can represent health
benefit costs associated with an employee's raw labor cost.

25. Agenda
– Overview of Burdening
– Implement Burdening
– Accounting for Cost Adjustments Resulting from Burden
Schedule Revisions
– Concurrent Programs
26. Concurrent Programs: Account for
Summarized Burden Cost Components
• Concurrent processes in Oracle Grants Accounting
you must run to account for burden costs as
separate, summarized burden transactions:
– PRC: Create and Distribute Burden Transactions
– PRC: Generate Cost Accounting Events
• Process Category = Burden Cost
– PRC: Create Accounting
• Process Category = Burden Cost
27. Maintenance Concurrent Programs
• Concurrent programs in Oracle Grants Accounting
you run to maintain burden schedules:
– PRC: Add New Organization Compiled Burden
Multipliers
– PRC: Compile All Burden Schedule Revisions
28. Summary
– Explain the terminology used in burden costing
– Define burden-related setup
– Process burden costs and related accounting
