You can choose to additionally show the burden cost as summarized expenditures on a separate project. You assign this separate Burden Cost Project in the Project Types window. The Burden Cost Project can be a single, indirect project that collects all burden costs or a project you define for a particular Project Type. These separate expenditures are generated in the same manner as the separate expenditures described in Burden Cost as Separate, Summarized Expenditure Items in the following section. The link to the original expenditure item is maintained but is not readily visible by looking at the summarized expenditures.
Attention: The cost breakdown planning enabled projects are not available in the Burden Cost Project LOV when you select the Account for Burden Cost components check box in the Project Types window.
The example in the following table illustrates accounting for summarized burden cost expenditures on a separate project.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Project Overhead, Task 1, Fringe, Sept 1, Consulting East | 0.00 | 120.00 | 120.00 |
