Labor Multipliers

You use labor multipliers when you want to apply only one multiplier to raw labor cost for billing purposes. If you need to apply many multipliers to the raw cost for billing, use burden schedules or burden schedule overrides for revenue and invoicing to record the appropriate multipliers. You can also use labor multipliers with standard burden schedules as explained below.

Oracle Projects calculates the revenue or bill amounts (or both) for this task's labor items using the following formula for items based on bill rate schedules:

Revenue or Bill Amounts = (Labor Multiplier X Raw Cost)

Oracle Projects calculates the revenue or bill amounts (or both) for this task's labor items using the following formula for items based on burden schedules:

Revenue or Bill Amounts = Burdened Amount X (1 + Labor Multiplier)

If no override revenue or invoice burden schedules exist, Oracle Projects uses the multiplier on top of the standard revenue and invoice burden schedule. Following is an example of use of the labor multiplier:

Labor Raw Cost 1,000
Standard Multiplier (1.5) 1,500 (from standard burden schedule)
Total Burdened Labor 2,500
Negotiated Multiplier (1.0) 2,500 (from labor multiplier)
Final Burdened Labor 5,000

Non-Labor Schedule

You can override a non-labor standard bill rate for non-labor expenditure types and non-labor resources.

When you override a usage expenditure type, the override applies to all non-labor resources within that usage expenditure type.

When you override a non-labor resource within a usage expenditure type, the override applies to that particular non-labor resource only, and does not apply to other non-labor resources within that usage expenditure type.

Any non-labor bill rate override you enter takes precedence over non-labor bill rates or markups from your task's standard non-labor bill rate schedules.

Any non-labor bill rate override you enter for this task takes precedence over any project non-labor bill rate override.

Labor Multipliers Window

To enter labor multipliers, you must select and expand Bill Rates and Overrides from the list of options in the Projects, Templates window. You specify the following information for this option:

Multiplier: Enter the labor multiplier you want to use for this project or lowest task.

Effective From/To: Enter the date range the labor multiplier is effective.
