AC60.1 - Burden Codes
**Form Purpose
Use Burden Codes (AC60.1) to define and maintain burden codes. Burden codes
identify overhead, fringe benefits, or other indirect costs associated with an
activity transaction.
**Process at a Glance
1. Define burden codes on this form
2. Assign burden codes to an activity group or posting activity on Account
Category Burden Assignment (AC61.1)
3. Define burden eligibility criteria on Pool Driver Values (AC62.1)
4. Define burden rates on Burden Pool Rates (AC63.1)
**More Information
Burden codes, burden pools, and burden assignments are used during Activity
Posting (AC190) to calculate and create burden transactions for eligible
activity transactions. For example, a labor cost transaction may generate two
burden transaction--one for fringe and one for G&A overhead.
Each burden code includes:
- the account category to which the burden transaction should be posted
- the driver type to determine what transaction data triggers the burden
transaction
- the order in which the burden should be calculated (with respect to other
burden codes)
- information about whether the burden should post to General Ledger
You can associate burdens with multiple transaction types in the Driver Type
field. You can select from Company and Work Accounting Unit, Company and Home
Accounting Unit, Activity Company Accounting Unit, Activity, Account Category,
Job Code, Salary Class, or Employee. Note that the following driver types can
only be used with employee resource transactions:
Company and Home Accounting Unit
Job Code
Salary Class
Employee
Burden codes are identified by defining rules. These rules include step, post
to account category, and driver.

AC60.2 - Additional Information
**Form Purpose
Use Additional Information (AC60.2) if you want to post burdens to General
Ledger or to create off-set burden transactions in Project and Activity
Accounting or General Ledger.
Burden transactions are posted to the activity contained in the source
transaction, and to the account category specified in the burden code.
**More Information
You can create offset entries for burden transactions. This lets you charge
one activity/account category with burden costs, and "balance" the burden
transaction by creating an offset transaction that posts to another activity
and account category. Burden offset transactions are posted to the offset
activity and account category specified on AC60.2.
If you post burdens to General Ledger, you must define GL information to
identify where the burden transaction should be posted. The General Ledger
transaction can be posted to an account you specify using the company and
accounting unit in the transaction from which they are triggered, or they can
be posted to a specific company, accounting unit, and account.
