Indirect costs with HH2

SOLVED

Hello,

We are setting up HH2, and were trying to find ways to input indirect costs such as travel time, yard time, dump, and holiday pay. How do people typically do this?

We were thinking of creating job numbers for these categories, then removing them from our reports when settling our books.... thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

    Robby,

    Your best bet is to ask the hh2 support team. They have experience with multiple contractors.

    I have done it different ways:

    Depending on your set up you might have a pool of indirect cost accounts to capture this data or set up Jobs.

    Holiday Pay, travel time, yard, etc. - set up with a separate Pay ID in PR.

    It can get coded to actual job as direct cost or GL indirect cost account. Or a dummy job to capture all indirects.

    Travel time - Again indirect account or a Job number with Cost Code for Travel. I do currently bill our travel time so it all gets direct costed.

    Yard time - set up a separate Job to track yard time and dump time by cost code.

    I will say your best bet is to either break it down by Job with cost codes for travel, sump, yard or break it down by a GL indirect Cost accounts.

    You could also decide to do monthly indirect allocation to current projects. I used to do this on a % basis monthly project cost/total company direct cost for the month.
