Revenue Formula
|
Enter, or click
to select, the revenue formula. You must select revenue formulas on the Select Revenue Formulas subtask on the Configure Project Settings screen before you can select them here. You can use this subtask to restrict which formulas are available on this screen. Each formula listed produces a separate calculation and all formulas are independent from the type of project specified on the Basic Info tab of the Manage Project User Flow. For more information about revenue setup, see the "Revenue Setup/Computation" topic.
For example, the project type can be fixed price, and because all revenue formulas are available for selection, the revenue formula can be
Loaded Labor Hours. This is a required field. Refer to "Revenue Computations" for more information on the revenue calculations performed for the individual revenue methods.
For information about modifying a revenue formula, see the "Modifying Revenue Formulas" topic.
The following options are included in this drop-down list:
- BACKLOG (Contract Value Less Backlog): This formula calculates revenue by subtracting the backlog amount entered on the screen from the total contract value. After you select this revenue formula, the Backlog Amount field displays. You must estimate the total backlog for this project and enter it in this field. Costpoint then subtracts this amount from the total contract value on the Manage Modifications screen. Backlog in this context is generally defined as the amount of the contract value that has not yet been earned.
- CIMR (Labor Cost times Multiplier Plus Non-labor times Multiplier (Hours)): Use this formula to compute multiplier-based revenue using actual labor rates. Costpoint computes the labor amount by dividing labor cost by actual hours incurred. You must enter a PLC for all labor amounts. Labor amounts that do not have associated hours are ignored during this calculation. A rate type of
A is used with this formula. It is different from the
Labor Cost Times Multiplier Plus Non-Labor Times Multiplier formula because it computes revenue using actual rates. This is a transaction-based formula.
- COSTIMR (Labor Cost Times Multiplier Plus Non-Labor Times Multiplier (Cost)): Use this revenue formula to calculate revenue by applying a multiplier to labor and non-labor costs. You enter the multipliers on this screen or the Manage Multiplier Overrides screen. Costpoint multiplies the multipliers entered on these screens by the labor and non-labor costs that are posted to the general ledger. You must enter a Project Labor Category (PLC) for all labor costs. This is a transaction-based revenue formula.
- CPFC (Cost Plus Fee On Cost): This formula uses year-to-date direct and indirect costs plus a fee on those costs to compute revenue. The direct costs are derived from information posted to the general ledger. Costpoint calculates the indirect costs by multiplying actual or target rates on the Manage Cost Pools screen by the year-to-date direct costs. It calculates the fee by multiplying total year-to-date costs by the fee percent. The direct, indirect, and fee amounts are combined to determine year-to-date revenue. Any adjustments to the fee are handled on a year-to-date basis.
- CPFCCMF (Cost Plus Fee on Cost Current Month Fee): This formula uses year-to-date direct and indirect costs but applies fee based only on current period costs. The direct costs are derived from information posted to the general ledger. Costpoint calculates the indirect costs by multiplying actual or target rates on the Manage Cost Pools screen by the year-to-date direct costs. It calculates the fee by multiplying total costs on a period basis by the fee percent. The direct, indirect, and fee amounts are combined to determine year to date revenue. Any adjustments to fee are applied only to the current period.
- CPFH (Fee on Hours Plus Cost Incurred): This formula calculates revenue by adding direct and indirect costs and a fee based on hours incurred. The direct costs are derived from information posted to the general ledger. Costpoint calculates the indirect costs by multiplying actual or target rates on the Manage Cost Pools screen by the year-to-date direct costs. The program calculates the fee by multiplying fee per hour that was entered on this screen by the number of hours incurred. This is a year-to-date formula.
- CVPC (Contract Value Times Percent Complete): This formula multiplies the percent complete amount entered on this screen by the total contract value entered on the Manage Modifications screen. This value is then compared to the revenue previously recognized. Costpoint computes the previously recognized revenue by adding the revenue on the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen and the revenue that was recorded on a year-to-date basis in the project ledger. The difference between the total project revenue to recognize and the previously recognized revenue is then compared to the revenue already posted to the general ledger, and the difference is posted to the general ledger in the current period.
- CVPCVSE (Contract Value Times % Complete Vs. Rate Schedule): This formula compares the revenue calculated by the
Contract Value Times Percent Complete formula and the revenue calculated by the
Rate Schedule and then uses the lower of the two amounts. After you select this formula, you must enter the percent complete and the labor and non-labor multipliers in the appropriate fields. Refer to the documentation on the
Contract Value Times Percent Complete and the
Rate Schedule formulas for more information about these calculations.
- EAC (Cost Incurred using Estimate At Completion (Contract Value)): Use this formula if you are recording revenue using a percent completion method based on contract value. In order to use this formula, you must be able to estimate your projects' costs at completion and any inception-to-date losses. Costpoint first calculates the cost percent complete. The program calculates the inception-to-date allowable costs by adding all prior year allowable costs on the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen and adding this number to the year-to-date allowable costs on the general ledger. The result of this calculation is divided by the estimate at completion amount that has been entered on the screen less any inception-to-date loss. Costpoint multiplies this percentage by the contract value less any inception-to-date loss. It then compares the resulting amount to the inception-to-date revenue already recognized. It calculates the inception-to-date revenue already recognized by adding the revenue on the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen to the revenue recorded in the general ledger for the current fiscal year. The difference between the revenue already recognized and the revenue calculated by Costpoint is the current period revenue.
- ETBAR (Equal To Billings After Retainage): Use this formula to make inception-to-date revenue equal to billings after retainage. The
Amount Billed column on the Manage Project Bill Summary screen is summarized up to and including the ending subperiod being calculated to determine the inception-to-date billed after retainage. Costpoint compares this amount to the inception-to-date revenue. It calculates inception-to-date revenue by adding the total revenue from the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen and the year-to-date revenue in the general ledger. The difference between these two amounts is posted to the general ledger in the current period.
If your project uses net withholding, the Compute Revenue application treats the net withholding amount as an additional retainage amount, which is subtracted from the total billing amount to arrive at the revenue amount.
- ETBBR (Equal To Billings Before Retainage): Use this formula to make inception-to-date revenue equal to billing before retainage. The
Amount Billed and the
Amount Retained columns on the Manage Project Bill Summary screen are combined and summarized up to and including the ending subperiod being calculated to determine the inception-to-date billed amount. Costpoint compares this amount to the inception-to-date revenue amount. It calculates inception-to-date revenue by adding the total revenue on the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen to the year-to-date revenue in the general ledger. The difference between these two amounts is posted to the general ledger in the current period.
- ETC (Cost Incurred using Estimate To Complete (Contract Value)): Use this formula if you are recording revenue using a percent completion method based on contract value. To use this formula, you must be able to estimate your projects' cost to complete and any inception-to-date losses. Costpoint first calculates the cost percent complete. It calculates the inception-to-date allowable costs by adding the prior year costs from the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen and the year-to-date costs in the general ledger. This amount is divided by the estimated costs to complete entered on the screen less any inception-to-date losses. Costpoint multiplies the resulting percentage by the contract value less inception-to-date losses. The result of this calculation is the inception-to-date revenue for the project. Costpoint then compares this number to the sum of the revenue on the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen and the amount that has been posted to the general ledger. The difference between these two numbers is the current period revenue.
- ETD (Equal To Deliveries): Use this formula to make inception-to-date revenue equal to deliveries. Costpoint calculates deliveries by summarizing the
Delivery Amountcolumn on the Manage Project Bill Summary screen up to and including the subperiod entered on the screen. It compares this amount to the inception-to-date revenue. It calculates inception-to-date revenue by adding the total revenue on the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen to the year-to-date revenue in the general ledger. The difference between these two amounts is posted to the general ledger in the current period.
- ETPL (Equal To Project Ledger Sales): Use this revenue formula if you want the revenue on your project reports to be equal to the amount in the general ledger. When you use this formula, Costpoint usually posts revenue to the general ledger with a monthly journal entry. When revenue is calculated, the project tables are updated with the year-to-date revenue from the general ledger.
When you use the
ETPL (Equal to Project Ledger Sales) formula, the Compute Revenue process looks at GL_POST_SUM table for the revenue account. When you use this formula, you either enter an Adjusting Journal Entry (AJE) to credit the revenue account and debit the unbilled account, or you post a sales order that credits the revenue account automatically. When you execute the Compute Revenue process, it sets the revenue amount equal to the costs of the project on the labor and non-labor lines (actual direct cost plus burden) and then plugs the difference into the ACCT_FUNC_NO =
1 line.
- FACTD (Fixed Amount Contract To Date): Use this formula to determine your contract-to-date revenue manually. Costpoint uses the amount entered on the screen as contract-to-date revenue and compares it to inception-to-date revenue already in Costpoint. It calculates inception-to-date revenue by adding the total revenue on the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen and the year-to-date revenue in the general ledger. The difference between these two amounts is posted as revenue in the current period.
- FAMTD (Fixed Amount Month To Date): Use this formula if you would like a standard amount per month to be recognized as revenue. This formula compares the fixed monthly amount that is entered on the screen to the revenue in the general ledger for the period being computed. The difference between these two numbers is recognized as revenue.
- FAYTD (Fixed Amount Year To Date): Use this formula to record a standard amount of revenue each year. This formula compares the year-to-date revenue amount that is entered on the screen to the year-to-date revenue that has been recorded in the general ledger. The difference between these two amounts is recognized as revenue in the current period.
- FVEAC (Cost Incurred using Estimate At Completion (Funded Value)): Use this formula if you are recording revenue using a percent completion method based on funded value. To use this formula, you must be able to estimate your projects' cost to complete and any inception-to-date (ITD) losses. Costpoint first calculates the allowable estimate at completion (EAC) amount. The program subtracts the ITD revenue loss amount on this screen, if any, from the EAC amount also on this screen. Next, it calculates the ITD percent complete by dividing the ITD allowable cost by the allowable EAC amount. Costpoint multiplies this percentage by the funded value for the project at the level of the revenue formula to get the ITD revenue before loss. It then subtracts the ITD revenue loss amount, if any, from the ITD revenue before loss to get the final ITD revenue. Costpoint calculates the previous year-to-date (YTD) revenue recognized by adding the revenue in the project ledger for the current fiscal year up to and including the subperiod being calculated. Next, it sums the revenue from the prior year table for fiscal years earlier than the selected fiscal year, and adds that value to the YTD revenue previously recognized to get the ITD revenue previously recognized. Costpoint then subtracts the ITD revenue amount previously recognized from the ITD revenue to recognize to get the ITD revenue not yet recognized; this amount can be positive or negative. If the ITD revenue exceeds the total project ceiling, the over-ceiling amount is recognized, and reduces revenue to the ceiling amount.
- FVETC (Cost Incurred using Estimate To Complete (Funded Value)): Use this formula if you are recording revenue using a percent completion method based on funded value. To use this formula, you must be able to estimate your projects' cost to complete and any ITD losses. Costpoint first calculates the total allowable EAC by adding the estimate to complete (ETC) amount on this screen to the ITD allowable cost and then subtracting the ITD revenue loss amount (also on this screen), if any. Next, it calculates the ITD percent complete by dividing the ITD allowable cost by the total allowable EAC amount. Costpoint multiplies this percentage by the funded value for the project at the level of the revenue formula to get the ITD revenue before loss. It then subtracts the ITD revenue loss amount, if any, from the ITD revenue before loss to get the final ITD revenue. Costpoint calculates the previous YTD revenue recognized by adding the revenue in the project ledger for the current fiscal year up to and including the subperiod being calculated. Next, it sums the revenue from the prior year table for fiscal years earlier than the selected fiscal year, and adds that value to the YTD revenue previously recognized to get the ITD revenue previously recognized. Costpoint then subtracts the ITD revenue amount previously recognized from the ITD revenue to recognize to get the ITD revenue not yet recognized; this amount can be positive or negative. If the ITD revenue exceeds the total project ceiling, the over-ceiling amount is recognized, and reduces revenue to the ceiling amount.
- FVPC (Funded Value Times Percent Complete): This formula multiplies the percent complete amount entered on this screen by the total funded value entered on the Manage Modifications screen. This value is then compared to the revenue previously recognized. Costpoint computes the previously recognized revenue by adding the revenue on the Manage Prior Year Cost and Revenue screen and the revenue that was recorded on a year-to-date basis in the project ledger. The difference between the total project revenue to recognize and the previously recognized revenue is then compared to the revenue already posted to the general ledger, and the difference is posted to the general ledger in the current period.
- ITDCPFC (ITD Fee on Cost): This formula uses ITD allowable direct and indirect costs plus a fee on those costs to compute revenue. The direct costs are derived from information posted to the general ledger. Costpoint calculates the allowable indirect costs by multiplying actual or target rates on the Manage Cost Pools screen by the ITD allowable costs. It calculates the fee by multiplying ITD allowable costs by the fee percent. The allowable direct, indirect, and fee amounts are combined to determine ITD revenue. Any adjustments to the fee are handled on a year-to-date basis.
- LLR (Loaded Labor Rate): Use this revenue formula to compute revenue using loaded labor rates only. All non-labor costs are ignored when you use this formula. Costpoint computes the labor portion of this formula by multiplying the assigned labor rate by the hours incurred by PLC on the Manage Project Labor History screen. This is a transaction-based formula.
- LLRBFNBF (Loaded Labor Rate W/Burden W/Fee Plus Non-Labor W/Burden W/Fee): Use this formula to apply burden and fee to loaded labor rates and non-labor with burden and fee rates. Costpoint multiplies the hours incurred on the Manage Project Labor History screen by the assigned labor rate to obtain the loaded labor amount. The provisional rate on the Pool Rates subtask of the Manage Cost Pools screen is used to calculate the burden on both the labor and non-labor. The non-labor amounts are subtracted from non-labor amounts that were posted to the general ledger. Costpoint applies the fee amount entered on this screen to both the labor and non-labor amounts. This is a transaction-based revenue formula.
- LLRCINBF (Loaded Labor Plus Non-Labor W/Burden W/Fee): Use this formula to compute revenue using labor rates times hours incurred plus non-labor costs with burden and a fixed fee. Costpoint multiplies the labor hours on the Manage Project Labor History screen by the assigned labor rate to obtain the loaded labor portion. The non-labor amounts that were posted to the general ledger are combined with the burden at provisional rates stored on the Pool Rates subtask of the Manage Cost Pools screen. Costpoint applies the fixed fee entered on this screen to the non-labor costs. This is a transaction-based formula.
- LLRCINL (Loaded Labor Rate Plus Cost Incurred On Non-labor (T&M)): Use this formula to compute revenue using loaded labor plus non-labor costs. This formula does not compute fee or burden. Costpoint multiplies labor hours incurred on the Manage Project Labor History screen by the assigned labor rate to obtain the loaded labor amount. The non-labor amounts that were posted to the general ledger are computed as pass-through amounts. This is a transaction-based formula.
- LLRCINLB (Loaded Labor Plus Non-labor Plus Burden on Non-labor):Use this formula to compute revenue using loaded labor rates plus non-labor amounts and related burden. Costpoint computes the loaded labor amount by multiplying labor hours on the Manage Project Labor History screen by the assigned labor rate. The non-labor amounts are taken from amounts posted to the general ledger. The burden is computed on non-labor using the provisional rates on the Pool Rates subtask of the Manage Cost Pools screen. This is a transaction-based formula.
- LLRFNLBF (Loaded Labor Rate W/Fee Plus Non-Labor W/Burden W/Fee): Use this formula to compute revenue using loaded labor rates with fee applied and non-labor with burden and fee rates. Costpoint multiplies the hours incurred on the Manage Project Labor History screen by the assigned labor rate to obtain the loaded labor amount. The value that you enter in the
Labor Fee Pct. field is applied to the labor amount. The non-labor amounts that were posted to the general ledger plus fee computed using the
Non-Labor Fee Percent are used to compute the non-labor portion of the revenue formula. Costpoint applies the burden to the non-labor using the provisional rates on the Pool Rates subtask of the Manage Cost Pools screen. This is a transaction-based formula.
- NONE (Do Not Compute): Use this formula if you do not want revenue computed on your project. Using this formula after your project has been completed prevents modifications in the revenue as a result of indirect or labor rates modifications.
- RSMNLM (Rate Schedule times Multiplier Plus Non-labor times Multiplier): Use this formula to calculate revenue using a variety of different labor rates. You must always use a PLC for labor transactions when using this formula. You can set up the rate schedule to use
A,
B, or
C rate types. This allows you to calculate revenue according to who or what group of employees is charging. Costpoint computes the non-labor using the multiplier entered on this screen. This is a transaction-based formula.
- UNIT (Unit Revenue Only): Use this formula to calculate revenue by using units. Costpoint multiplies units posted to the Unit Usage History table in Costpoint Billing by the unit price on the Manage Product Price Catalogs screen or the Project Unit Pricing subtask of the Manage CLIN Information screen. This is a transaction-based formula.
