Special Accounts

The System Accounts (SPEC) reference page has a tab of options just for Internal Costing displaying all Object and Sub Object codes used in posting labor, mileage, equipment, and material testing costs through transactions generated from the Internal Costing system process. Only those objects matching a type of internal costs that will be used need to be completed.

The Internal Costing Charge Generation process may use Object and Sub-Object values from Special Accounts when building buyer accounting lines. Special Accounts is the last in a sequence of four lookups that is performed when determining the Object and Sub-Object values.

  1. For all costs, if the Object fields were entered on the Internal Costing Transaction then those values will be used (actual use is from the Internal Costing Journal updated by the transaction). However, it is common for Object values to be prohibited for the Event Type used on the transaction in order to use consistent object values.  

  2. If the transaction, then the first lookup is to the Internal Costing Overtime Multipliers reference page for overtime costs.  

  3. If blank on the two above the next lookup is to the Internal Cost Rate reference page.
