Accounts Subtask
Use this subtask to link the cost, hours, units, burden, cost of money, and fee information to each of the billing lines.
In order for the billing program to know how to summarize the detail data, you must identify the account(s) and, optionally, the organization(s) that belong to each line.
When filling in the lines for this subtask, remember that the less data you enter on a row, the more data is included on the related line on the bill. For example, if you want a line on the bill to include all direct labor, fill in the direct labor account number(s), leave everything else blank, and select the check box in the Fee? field. Refer to the Processing Information section for more details.

Field | Description |
---|---|
Account |
Enter, or click to select, the general ledger account number(s) that you want linked to this line on the bill. If you leave this column blank but fill in other columns on a row, all accounts are used for that row. If you fill out the Account column only, the program summarizes the costs or hours or units that relate to that account. Note that if you do not select an Organization for an Account, you cannot select one for the same Account for the remaining lines. See the Processing Information section for more information on how this field works in combination with other fields on this screen. |
Organization |
Enter, or click to select, the organization(s) that you want linked to the selected account(s) for this line on the bill. You can also leave this field blank to specify all organizations, if other columns on the row are filled. Note that if you do not select an Organization for an Account, you cannot select one for the same Account for the remaining lines. See the Processing Information section for more information on how this field works in combination with other fields on this screen. |
Fiscal Year |
Enter, or click to select, a fiscal year to link to the selected billing line. This field is used with the Pool and COM Pool? fields to specify burden and cost of money amounts. If you enter a fiscal year, you must update the format at the beginning of each year to include the Pool and COM amounts for the new fiscal year. If you leave the Fiscal Year blank, all fiscal years are included. See the Processing Information section for more information on how this field works with other fields on this screen. |
Pool |
Enter the number of the pool whose burden and/or cost of money is to be included for this line. This field is used with the Fiscal Year and COM Pool? fields. See the Processing Information section for more information on how this field works with other fields on this screen. |
COM Pool ? |
Use the drop-down list to select Y (Yes) or N (No) to indicate whether or not you want to calculate facilities capital cost of money for the specified account, org, and so forth. This field is used in combination with the Pool and Fiscal Year fields. See the Processing Information section for more information on how this field works with other fields on this screen. |
Fee ? |
Select this check box to indicate that you want to calculate fee for the specified Account, Organization, and so forth. See the Processing Information section for more information on how this field works with other fields on this screen. |
Processing Information |
The fields in this table window work with each other to link cost, hours, units, burden, cost of money, and fee information to each of the billing lines from the main screen. As mentioned above, this subtask uses a "less is more" approach; the less information you provide on a given line in this table window, the more billing data that line represents. For example, if you fill in the Account field but leave Organization and all other fields blank, all organizations' costs (or hours or units) for the specified account are summed for the selected billing line. If you fill in both the Account and Organization fields, only the selected account/org combination's cost/hours/units are included. The following field combinations provide the following outcomes on your bill:
