Enter, or click to select, the account you want to charge. When you save the transaction, Costpoint verifies that this account is not a summary account and that the account was set up as a project-required account.

Even though a transaction such as fee or burden does not specifically have an account/organization assigned to it, you must still enter an account/organization for all transaction types. Either assign fee and burden to each individual cost element, if you are calculating these items based on individual cost elements, or enter total fee and burden against a single cost element, if you do not need to store fee and burden separately for each cost element. Which approach you take depends on how you structure your billing for this project. Costpoint uses the transaction type to determine how to present the amount on the bill.

Enter, or click to select, the organization you want to charge. When you save the transaction, Costpoint verifies that the organization is valid for use with the account selected.
