You can choose how you want to store, account, and view burden costs for individual expenditure items, using one of the following methods:

• Burden cost on the same expenditure item

• Burden cost as a separate, summarized expenditure item on the same project

• Burden cost as summarized expenditure items on a separate project

You decide how to store the burden costs based on your requirements for budgeting and reporting burden costs. You specify the method for each burdened project type that you define. See: Choosing a Burden Storage Method.

To define a burdened project type, you enable the Burdened check box in the Costing Information region of the Project Types window. Oracle Projects then displays the Burden Cost Display and Accounting region, where you enter all burden cost information. See: Project Types, Oracle Projects Implementation Guide.
