Burden schedules establish the multipliers used to calculate the burdened cost, revenue, or bill amount of each expenditure item charged to a project. You can define different burden schedules for use in internal costing, revenue accrual, and invoicing. When you define burden schedules, you specify the burden structure on which the schedule is based.

You can use both burden schedules and bill rate schedules within a project to accrue revenue and invoice. You can also use a bill rate schedule for non-labor expenditure items, and use a burden schedule for labor expenditure items.

You specify default burden schedules for each project type. You can use different schedules for different types of projects. You can override the default burden schedules for each project by using a schedule of multipliers negotiated for the project or task.
