Mult Ovrd Subtask
Use this subtask to set multiplier override percentages for your project's direct costs.
This subtask is available for all revenue and billing formulas. It is also available for overriding the multipliers in the billable value calculations. Costpoint uses this multiplier percent in place of the percentage entered for this project on the Revenue Details subtask or the Billing Details subtask (both in this user flow) when computing billable value, revenue, and billings.
Use this subtask for projects that have revenue/billing formulas that use multiplier rates for direct costs such as Rate Schedule times Multiplier plus Non-Labor times Multiplier, Contract Value Times % Complete vs. Rate Schedule, or Labor Cost Times Multiplier plus Non-Labor times Multiplier (Cost) or (Hours). You can also use this subtask for any projects that must have a different multiplier for the billable value computation.
Project override calculations begin with the lowest level project and work to the highest level. The first multiplier override found is applied to that project level and all lower levels. Only one override can exist on each project level.
When setting up a project, use this subtask to set up multiplier override percentages for direct costs. You can modify the multiplier at any time, but billable value, revenue, and/or billing must be recalculated to include the revised multiplier figure. Additional maintenance of the data on this subtask is required only when changing a multiplier override percentage, or when a new one must be entered.
This subtask is also available as a standalone application: Manage Multiplier Overrides.
