Field help (PCCPROV)

Click this check box if this cost type can be applied to a project as an 'indirect cost'.

 This field is used in conjunction with the fields Indirect cost type and Indirect cost percentage.

For indirect costs to be assigned to a project, a cost type defined as an 'indirect cost type' must be associated with this cost type. The percentage uplift to be applied to costs associated with the linked indirect cost type must also be defined. The financial overview will then increase costs for this cost type from the linked (associated, indirect) cost type by the percentage defined.

For example, the cost type 'Purchase department' can be defined as an 'indirect cost' on a project. This cost type ('Purchase department') can be linked to a different cost type such as 'Special procurement' and an uplift percentage of '10%' applied. The project financial overview will increase (uplift) all budgets and expenses assigned to the cost type 'Special procurement' by 10% based on the Purchase department costs.

For a project to use this functionality, both this check box and the Indirect cost overview check box on the project detail (Project tab) fields must be selected.
