You can define burden schedules at the project level to override the default burden schedules from the project type. You can also define burden schedules at the task level to override the default schedules from the project and project type.

• Defining Burden Schedule Overrides

  You can define a schedule of negotiated burden multipliers for your projects and tasks which overrides the schedule that you assigned to the project and tasks. When you define burden schedule overrides, you cannot override just one multiplier for the standard schedule; you need to define an entire schedule for the project or task that overrides the standard burden schedule.

  Defining burden schedule overrides is similar to defining burden schedules. You specify the revisions and the associated multipliers. The revisions are created as firm revisions. You cannot apply actuals to provisional multipliers with burden schedule overrides. You can select only burden structures that are allowed for use in burden schedule overrides.

  The burden schedule overrides that you define are created as burden schedules in Oracle Projects. You must compile schedule revisions as you do with standard burden schedules.

  Attention: You do not define override multipliers by organization. The multipliers that you define are used for all items, regardless of the organization.

• Assigning Burden Schedule Overrides

  You can enter override burden schedules for a project or task in the Project, Templates window or the Tasks window.

  The burden schedule override option is available only if the project is burdened and the project type allows override of the cost schedule. You can also choose this option if the schedule type for labor or non-labor is Burden, if you want to allow overrides of revenue and invoice schedules.

• Adjusting Burden Schedule Overrides

  You can correct, adjust, and create new revisions for your burden schedule override as you do for standard burden schedules.
