Internal Cost Rate

Internal Cost Rate (INCR) establishes the rates for charging labor, equipment, or materials testing usage which can later be used for costing purposes. Each rate is defined by Fiscal Year, Department and the corresponding Usage Class. On this reference page the wildcard of ALL is also allowed for the Department field to define a rule that applies to all other departments without a rule specific to that department.

Field InformationField Information

The following table contains those fields that are not self-evident listed in groups with the first being those that apply to all types of costs, then labor, then equipment, then materials testing.

Field Name	Description
Effective To Effective From	Date ranges assigned must be sequential, that is, gaps between the Effective To of one record and the Effective From of the next record are not allowed.
Usage Class	The system populates this field with the value from one of the following fields according to the Usage Type: Equipment Class, Employee Class, or Materials Testing Class.
Usage Type	Although not a key to an Internal Costing Rate record, this required field defines the type of record, which in turn governs what fields are required and which are optional by inferring Usage Group. Usage Type is a configurable list maintained offline in the CVL_USG_TYP database table.
Rate Category	A classification of the type of rate with values of Fixed and Variable. Only with equipment can a fixed rate be defined. Labor, equipment, and materials testing all support the variable rate.
Usage Group Description	The inferred name of the Usage Group inferred from the selected Usage Type.
Unit of Measure	The measurement method for the usage as defined on the Unit of Measure reference page that is shared by the Procurement function and others.
Internal Vendor Account Internal Vendor Name	For those internal costs where a second organizational entity is involved where costs are being reimbursed as expenditure credits or revenues, this identification of a record on the Internal Vendor Accounting Data reference page is required to retrieve the necessary chart of accounts.
Usage Class Object Usage Class Sub Object Usage Class Department Object	Default values populated on the generated transactions of the Internal Costing system process when the Internal Costing Transaction did not specify a value (that is, override these defaults). Please see the section for the Special Accounts reference page for more information on the order of inferences.
Employee Class Employee Class Name	Each internal cost with the Usage Type of Labor requires this field to identify the record and populate the Usage Class.
Salary Rate	A required rate when the Usage Type is Labor used for calculating labor costs. This rate will be used if the Employee Information record for an Internal Costing Journal record has a Salary Rate of 0.0000, at all other times the Employee Information rate will be used.
Overtime Object Overtime Sub Object Overtime Department Object	Default values populated on the generated transactions of the Internal Costing system process when the Internal Costing Transaction did not specify a value (that is, override these defaults). Please see the section for the Special Accounts reference page for more information on the order of inferences.
Default Value for Employee Benefits Multiplier Type	The value selected for this control will infer to the Internal Costing Transaction to control what, if any, benefit multipliers will be used when generating transactions by the Internal Costing System Process.
Employee Benefits Multiplier 1 – 5 Benefits Multiplier 1 – 5 Object Benefits Multiplier 1 – 5 Sub Object Benefits Multiplier 1 – 5 Department Object Benefits Multiplier 1 – 5 Standard/Overtime Benefits Multiplier 1 – 5 Inter/Intra-COA	When not defining benefit multiplier rates to effective dates on the Employee Benefits Multiplier reference page, this set of fields are used in the same manner as described in the section Employee Benefits Multiplier reference page. Please see the section on the System Options reference page that describes the system setting that determines the source of multiplier information. Irrespective of where the multipliers come from, the object chart of account defaults here are used when the Internal Costing Transaction did not specify a value (that is, override these defaults). Please see the section for the Special Accounts reference page for more information on the order of inferences.
Equipment Class Equipment Class Name	Each internal cost with the Usage Type of Equipment (ID Required) or Equipment (ID Not Required) requires this field to identify the record and populate the Usage Class.
Equipment Usage Rate	A required rate when the Usage Type is Equipment (ID Required) or Equipment (ID Not Required) used for calculating equipment usage costs. This rate will be used if the Equipment record for an Internal Costing Journal record has an Equipment Rate - Standard of 0.0000, at all other times the Equipment rate will be used.
Equipment Surcharge Rate	A required rate when the Usage Type is Equipment (ID Required) or Equipment (ID Not Required) used for calculating equipment usage costs. This rate will be used if the Equipment record for an Internal Costing Journal record has an Equipment Surcharge Rate of 0.0000, at all other times the Equipment rate will be used.
Equipment Surcharge Buyer Internal Vendor Account.	When the chart of accounts recording equipment surcharges should not be the same as the chart of accounts used on the Internal Costing Transaction, this field is used to identify a record on the Internal Vendor Accounting Data reference page to obtain the different chart of accounts. Please note this feature is only allowed at the Equipment Class level and is not available at the Equipment ID.
Equipment Surcharge Buyer Object Equipment Surcharge Buyer Sub Object Equipment Surcharge Buyer Department Object	When recording surcharge costs to the buyer, this set of optional object fields can be used to override those supplied from the Internal Vendor Accounting Data record identified for the buyer.
Equipment Surcharge Seller Revenue Equipment Surcharge Seller Sub Revenue Equipment Surcharge Seller Department Revenue	When recording surcharge revenue to the seller, this set of optional revenue fields can be used to override those supplied from the Internal Vendor Accounting Data record identified for the seller.
Equipment Surcharge Seller Object Equipment Surcharge Seller Sub Object Equipment Surcharge Seller Department Object	When recording surcharge reimbursement to the seller, this set of optional object fields can be used to override those supplied from the Internal Vendor Accounting Data record identified for the seller.
Materials Testing Class Materials Class Name	Each internal cost with the Usage Type of Materials Testing requires this field to identify the record and populate the Usage Class.
Materials Testing Rate	A required rate when the Usage Type is Materials Testing used for calculating costs.
