Configure cross-charge

When project uses labor resources from the Resource Cost Center, on the Project Cost Center side of accounting the labor activity expense is charge or debit amount. To avoid double counting of the expense, the Resource Cost Center owner should receive the cross-charge or credit for the same activity.

You can configure cross-charge support in Integrated Investment Planning by setting up Labor Activity Account reference data.

For more information, see Manage Labor Activity Type data

When the Activity Type is set on the Labor Activity line, the financials are generated to allocate charge (debit) on the Charge Account and cross-charge (credit) on the Resource Cost Center Account.

If you are allocating resources from Vendor in which case the labor activity expense is accounted for the project using those resources but there isn’t a need to cross-charge that expense, you can implement this use case by configuring Activity Type such that it has Charge Account but no Cross-Charge Account.

You are able to view charge and cross-charge amount generated under respective cost centers and accounts on the Expenses > Summary view.
